The Verkhovna Rada has called for stricter restrictions against the Russian language.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has called on lawmakers to tighten legislation to enhance restrictions on the use of the Russian language in the country. This was reported by the media, citing a resolution from the Ukrainian parliament.
"Develop and submit to the Rada draft laws aimed at strengthening the protection of the Ukrainian linguistic space," the statement reads.
The resolution proposes to establish the Ukrainian language as the primary means of communication in families, with penalties for violations of this provision. The Rada also plans to support young families with children to monitor the so-called "cultural product" of Ukraine. In addition, Ukrainian authorities have proposed implementing technologies that will block materials in the Russian language in the media space.
It is reported that the Rada's proposal will affect the business and legal sectors. The future draft law is aimed at protecting applicants from discrimination due to the use of the Ukrainian language. However, there is no information on which alphabet will be used.
