Zelensky approves law ending Russian language protections
President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law that removes legal protections for the Russian language in Ukraine, where it was previously considered a protected language under the European Charter for Regional Languages. The law does not criminalize the use of Russian entirely, but it restricts government services and education in the language, aiming to protect the Ukrainian language. Before the war, approximately one-third of the country's population spoke Russian, and its usage has declined since the conflict began in 2022.
