The article looks neutral (besides for spelling of city names using Russian notation).

  Which, to be fair, is something that much of the Ukrainian population still does. It's mostly foreigners that see this as something important.

    A lot of Ukrainians I know seem to be speaking much more Ukrainian than they did a few years ago. People from Russian speaking towns. There does seem to be a serious de-russification vibe, stronger than ever and definitely not just something foreigners are interested in. I'll give just one small example that I'm reminded of... There's been a lot of drama about signs when you enter a town. Russians will capture a town, paint the sign with their flag, change spellings to replace і with и, etc. Ukrainians will recapture, repaint, and switch to their spelling... It's a thing.

      Russia focused so much on language issues to justify what it's doing that it backfired - in any discussion where Russian vs Ukrainian can be brought up, it will inevitably be symbolic now, regardless of what people speak.
