Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking to establish English as one of several international languages of communication in Ukraine. Draft law 9432 “On the use of the English language in Ukraine,” introduced to the Ukrainian Parliament on June 28, aims to determine which jobs/positions require knowledge of English to further boost international relations. The move to push English in Ukraine comes amid the ongoing invasion from Russia which has led to a rejection of Russian. In some of these cities, the Ukrainian language was suppressed and was even viewed as the language of uneducated people, or angled to represent political rebellion. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this rejection has increased.
