In Dnipro, a decision has been made to cease the public use of Russian-speaking content in order to protect the Ukrainian information space from Russian influence and to avoid the consequences of Russification in this region. Currently, the use of any cultural products in the Russian language in the Dnipro community is prohibited.
Until the complete cessation of the occupation of Ukrainian territory, public use of any cultural products created or reproduced in the Russian language is prohibited in the Dnipro community.
Olena Ivanovska, the authorized representative for the protection of the state language, claims that this decision is very important for national security. The conditions of war now do not allow the use of the Russian language in the cultural space, as it is perceived as disrespectful to the memory of the fallen defenders of Ukraine and morally unacceptable.

Finland has come into the spotlight due to an incident where a teacher suggested that students sing Russian songs during music class. However, Ukrainian Nicole refused to participate, explaining that she is Ukrainian.
Measures taken by the Dnipro City Council aim to protect Ukrainian culture and the information space from Russian influence, as well as to restore the language balance in this region after long years of Russification.
