Verkhovna Rada postpones bill to strip Russian language of protection<\/h2>\n

Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine withdrew the government's draft law No. 14120 from consideration<\/strong>, which provided for the exclusion of Russian from the list of languages protected by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.<\/p>\n

According to the parliament, the decision is explained by \u00abpressure from unnamed Russian lobbyists in the Council of Europe\u00bb<\/strong>, who allegedly opposed the cancellation of the status.<\/p>\n

\n

In parallel, the \u00ablanguage\u00bb clause in the EU peace plan<\/h3>\n

On the same day Radio Liberty<\/strong> published information on the draft joint plan Ukraine and the European Union on the ceasefire<\/strong>, which includes a clause on \u00abstrengthening mutual understanding and respect for the diversity of languages, cultures and religions\u00bb.<\/p>\n

According to journalists, this paragraph may actually mean returning the Russian language and the Russian Orthodox Church to their pre-war positions in public space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Expert opinion: \u00abslow non-military annexation\u00bb<\/h3>\n

Analysts see these two events as signs of a possible reversal of state policy<\/strong>, This could be part of a diplomatic compromise between Kyiv, Moscow and European mediators.<\/p>\n

\u00abIf such a scenario is implemented, it will mean the Kremlin's return to the tactics of non-military but systematic cultural annexation of Ukraine - through language, church, cinema, music and publishing,\u00bb the observer notes.<\/p>\n

\n

Context.<\/h3>\n

Draft Law No. 14120 was registered in 2024. It provided that the Russian language cannot enjoy special protection<\/strong> within the framework of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, as it is used by the aggressor state as an instrument of influence.<\/p>\n

Currently, the document has been returned to the government for revision, and parliamentary circles are discussing the possibility of revising the language policy as part of future agreements with the EU<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
