Over nine months of 2026 year the Office of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language received 2245 complaints about violations of language legislation. Most often they concern the internet, advertising, and the service sector. At the same time, language ombudswoman Olena Ivanovska emphasizes the need to create a Ukrainian-speaking environment for children before school, since insufficient proficiency in the state language can lead to significant educational losses.
Why did Ivanovska appeal to the SBU and the GUR over the use of Russian during the conflict between their employees, should parents communicate in Ukrainian in school chats, what is the ombudswoman’s attitude toward surzhyk, and should fines for violations of language legislation be increased?
About this, as well as about the language situation in the regions, the threats of a Russian language comeback, and her own experience of threats, read in the exclusive interview by Yevhen Kuzmenko and Olha Skorokhod for Censor.NET: https://censor.net/ua/r4029973
