Ukraine has revised its language policies, removing the protected status previously afforded to the Russian language. While speaking Russian remains legal, government bodies are no longer obligated to provide information or services in Russian. The changes also allow for potential restrictions on Russian-language education within the Ukrainian school system. This move signals a further distancing from Russia following its invasion and aims to strengthen the position of the Ukrainian language. Authorities state the reforms do not prohibit the use of Russian privately or in everyday conversation. The policy shift reflects Ukraine’s broader efforts to assert its national identity and diminish Russian influence within the country. Implementation details regarding school curricula are still being finalized.
