Zhebrivsky wrote about this on Facebook, posting a photocopy of his order.
“Today I signed the order “On the use of the state language by employees of the regional state administration during the performance of their official duties.” From now on, in the Donetsk Regional Military-Civil Administration we are switching to services in Ukrainian,” he wrote.
Zhebrivsky reported that in 2016, business Ukrainian language courses were organized twice for administration employees, “then they tested their knowledge on the radio dictation of national unity.”
In addition, according to him, English language courses will be organized for administration employees in 2017.
