So you think we should outlaw Spanish in the US? That's democracy in action? No need to answer. Your level of understanding of Ukraine's history is too feeble to understand.

You mean that Zelensky is violating the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights only in the country he is governing? And not in neighboring Russia? BTW, you can't be serious in apologizing a ban of people speaking the language their mother thought them.

Arestvych here doubts that language (forcing Ukrainian language, language discrimination of almost half the population) was a sustainable pretext for the 2nd (the post-Maidan UkroNazi) republic. If language discrimination was not enough to mobilize enough men to defend Ukraine, he ponders the values the 3rd republic (potentially rising from the ashes of the defeat of the current regime) should adhere to, values that more people would be willing to go fight to defend (more than the number willing to die in trenches for language discrimination). BTW, Arestovych is a Russian speaker in Ukraine, and the language discrimination laws before and after the war were aimed at him too.

Я их спрашиваю: - Так насувається ж одвічний ворог, що йде знищити мову. Чому ти не хочеш… pic.twitter.com/HZNpRbjRYt — Arestovych (@arestovych) April 28, 2024

Ukraine’s language ombudsman complains that Russian is becoming a protest language of Ukrainian teenagers, and that her own daughter maintains her social networks in Russian because all her friends are Russian-speakers. x.com The reality is that everything about "Ukrainian language" and "Ukrainian culture" was invented and enforced by stifling Soviet bureaucracy. No one in their right mind would choose Brezhnev over Pushkin. At the end of the day the only thing the Ukrainian project can offer is something that feels like Decree No. 567 "On Measures To Enhance Collective Ukrainian Identity In Agrarian Youth" by the Zhmerinka Raion Executive Committee in 1968/ x.com Tom
