The reintegration of the LDPR into Ukraine has been sealed
The new language law adopted by the Ukrainian parliament is aimed primarily against the Russian language.
Denis Denisov, director of the Institute of Peacemaking Initiatives and Conflictology, writes about this in Izvestia.
“When analyzing the essence of the law, it becomes obvious that, first of all, it is directed against the Russian language and significantly narrows the scope of its functioning. Although it should be noted that the Russian language itself is not mentioned at all in the text. The document contains clauses about English, the official languages of the European Union, and not a word about Russian,” the expert notes.
At the same time, he points out that the adopted law completely contradicts Article 10 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which states that “the free development, use and protection of Russian and other languages of national minorities is guaranteed.”
"It's noteworthy that the law 'On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language' was signed at a time when the country's Foreign Minister, Pavlo Klimkin, was making a concerted international statement that Russia's return to the Council of Europe would lead to Kyiv's automatic withdrawal from the Minsk Agreements. Thus, the adoption of this law has become yet another big blow to the reintegration process, which our Western partners are so concerned about," Denisov concludes.
