My main point is precisely about defending the Ukrainian language, not fighting it.
When you see those crazy people running around, shouting, arguing, fining people — it's not about promoting the development of Ukrainian. It's about discouraging those who don't speak it from speaking Ukrainian. And turning those people hostile toward the language.
What should the language ombudsman be doing? If, for example, a person wants to enroll their child in a school where instruction is in Russian. Yes, of course.
Or if someone is fighting against Ukrainian. You also need to get involved.
But what these people are doing now is classic sabotage.
And one VERY important thesis: there is no need to Ukrainize Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kyiv. These cities and regions are UKRAINE.
They are not occupied, they were not captured, they are an integral part of the state, and they are the foundation and basis of the state. They determine the state's policy.
When we talk about Ukrainizing someone — we imply that for some reason they have ceased to be Ukrainians. And that is already treason against the state.
Odesa, for example, is one of the country's key regions. And Odesa itself can Ukrainize whoever needs to be Ukrainized.
