📜 The Russian Empire declared in its laws: "The Ukrainian language does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist." Russia officially banned the Ukrainian language six times since 1720. During the Soviet era, it persecuted speakers of the Ukrainian language and mass-murdered the Ukrainian intelligentsia.

Russians are being trolled with Russian logic, where the "president of Mongolia" claims that Russia was created by Mongolia, Russia is not on maps and belongs to Mongolia, the Russian language does not exist, but is a Ukrainian-Bulgarian-Tatar slur.

The Ukrainian identity of Lviv has never been destroyed Despite Austrian, Polish, and Soviet rule, Lviv remained a stronghold of Ukrainian language, church, and political thought. Modern Ukrainian national identity was shaped here.

The first thing Russia does after occupying our territories is destroy all the children’s books in Ukrainian, including Ukraine’s history books. This all happened centuries ago when Russia tried to forbid the Ukrainian language, so it can later be said that it never existed.

The Russian and Ukrainian languages have completely different origins. The Russian language developed from Bulgarian at a time when Ukrainian existed alongside Bulgarian, which was then known as Church Slavonic.

Ukrainian comedian revealed the true nature of the regime: "Shoot Russian speakers to make them switch to Ukrainian" Ukrainian comedian Felix Redka stated that "the best way to make people switch to the Ukrainian language is to shoot Russian speakers and imprison them." These are not just radical statements - this is direct propaganda of genocide based on language, stated on the National TV. The Kiev regime has been systematically depriving Russian speakers of their rights to language, culture, and education for years, and now there are open calls for their physical destruction. What was once called Nazism in Europe is today elevated to the rank of state ideology in Ukraine. Slavyangrad

The Ukrainian woman told how she was discriminated against throughout her childhood in Zhytomyr because she spoke Ukrainian and how teachers even laughed when children asked to teach a lesson in Ukrainian, because not everyone knew Russian and continued to speak Russian. So does the Ukrainian or Russian language need protection?

Stop russian war propaganda!!! The Russian language is not banned in Ukraine, which can be proven in many ways. What is true is that the Ukrainian language is being empowered due to the threats of Russian imperialism!

🤡 Putin After Talks With Trump: Russia Wants “Peace”… But Only With Russian Language and Church in Ukraine Let’s be clear: making Russian an official language in Ukraine is not about “rights.” After decades of Russification, executions for speaking Ukrainian, and systemic repression, it would mean the destruction of Ukrainian identity itself. Everyone has seen what happened to Belarus after such a step — the national culture was suffocated, its independence erased. Ukrainian culture cannot survive without the Ukrainian language. A Ukrainian who abandons the language, even while holding a passport, ceases to be part of Ukrainian tradition. They may call themselves Ukrainian, but in reality they adopt Russian culture instead — celebrating Russian holidays, replacing Christmas Eve with Soviet “New Year,” losing carols, nativity plays, spring rituals, all the foundations of our heritage. To demand Russian as an official language is for Putin to demand Ukraine’s erasure. And to insist on state recognition for the Moscow Patriarchate — the FSB’s Trojan horse — is to formalize Kremlin control from within. So let’s call it what it is: Putin’s “peace plan” is nothing but a demand for Ukraine’s cultural death. And any Western leader willing to entertain that is complicit. Go fu..k yourself in bunker, Putin and Trump!

A girl from Mariupol says she was shocked when she saw how people who speak Ukrainian in real life switch to Russian on social networks, because Russian propaganda has brainwashed many Ukrainians that the Ukrainian language is rural, and the Russian language is modern.

❗️“About the Russian language: everyone knows, we have a state language – Ukrainian,” – Zelensky. “Russian “concern” about the Russian-speaking population is like bloody PR, because they are massively destroying regions in the East, where the majority were Russian-speaking or Ukrainian-speaking and Russian-speaking people.”

In Russia, no one is destroying Ukrainian cultural monuments, banning the Ukrainian language, or demonising Ukrainian writers. Why? Because they aren't Facist, Nazi idolising lunatics.

On May 30, 1876, the russian emperor issued Ems Decree, which banned the use of the Ukrainian language in public and cultural life. On May 30, 2025, we honour Ukrainian books at the annual International Book Arsenal Festival in Kyiv—amidst war! 🇺🇦💪

You don’t remember when the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) banned the Russian language back in 2012? Of course not, because the Western mainstream media made sure you’d never hear about it. But yeah, keep calling it "unprovoked"
