Ombudswoman Ivanovska: the status of the Russian language is a red line for Ukraine

Olena Ivanovska, the newly appointed language ombudswoman, believes that granting the Russian language the status of a second state or regional language is a 'red line' for Ukraine. She emphasized that any bilingualism is unacceptable as it may lead to a loss of statehood. Ivanovska expressed this in an interview with 'Glavkom'.

The main idea of Olena Ivanovska's statements is that she is concerned about the possible consequences of bilingualism for Ukraine, as it may open the door for Russian cultural expansion. Ivanovska fears that this could lead to a loss of state and a loss of everything achieved by the Ukrainian people.
