Ukrainians demand that Russian-language versions of websites be banned. The petition gathered with this request is a signal that Ukrainians want to see the Ukrainian language online, which they are defending. The official representative for the Ukrainian language, Olena Ivanovska, emphasized the importance of this issue and its historical roots.


Problems with the Ukrainian language have also been identified in the capital. Monitoring showed that a significant number of schoolchildren in Kyiv speak Russian during breaks, indicating long-standing issues with language influences. Ivanovska is also actively working to ensure language security on the Internet so that Ukrainian users have access to content without the imposition of Russian materials.
