"wants to ban the use of russian language" - where did you hear that propaganda? How do you ban the use of any language?
- usaphp 13y agoFrom my cousin and aunt who live in Ukraine, unlike most of the americans and europeans who consider everything that media says is true and if something is against it - it's propaganda, I prefer to ask real people who live there.
- jedmeyers 13y agoSo what did those "real" people tell you? Can you explain what "banning the use of the Russian language" actually entails? Will they put you in jail if they catch you speak Russian?
- efoto 13y agoWell, you may find that, for instance, "Resident’s in Ukraine’s western city Lviv, a stronghold of Ukranian nationalism, chose to speak in Russian for the day".

- jedmeyers 13y agoEssentially the law did not make Russian an official language. It left up to the separate regions to decide what language would they like to use as official ones, in addition to Ukrainian. As for the repealing of the law - Rada have done that since it did not correspond to the Constitution of 2004, which they came back to, therefore the law technically became non valid. When Rada repealed the law, they have also announced the immediate plans to propose a new law that will consider interests of all minorities, not just Russian, and will correspond to the new "old" Constitution.
