No. There is a Russian language ban in Nazi occupied Ukraine.

No. Ukraine, unsucessfully, is trying to stomp out russian and rusyn tho.

DPR and LPR feature Ukrainian as electables in school. Even NATOpedia has Ukrainian listed as an official language of Zaporizhia oblast.

Donbas region speaks predominantly Russian. I'm not sure what specific policies have changed in those regions since 2014, if any. But I assume western propaganda has contorted the the discrepancy between the language policies in Ukraine and those in the donbas as evidence of some sort of suppression of Ukrainian.

When its quite the opposite.

No, thats nafobots projection invented because they have no comeback to Ukraine banning Russian

There is a lot of good info. Although it would be nice if they made more citations.

There was Ukrainian language schooling in Donetsk if parents requested it up until 2025 but it was discontinued because there was no demand.

yes, this is something that happens in almost every euro conflict. my grandparents had to study russian as a secondary language but after communism ended that changed to english. if im not wrong theres this thing where most ukrainians can understand russian bc theyre exposed to it while russian speakers cant.

its not to say that russia is uniquely evil for this. we communicate in english bc of the british empire and the united states
