Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution according to which teachers should speak only Ukrainian at schools with the teaching in Ukrainian language, even during breaks. It is obvious that the main purpose of this resolution is to eradicate Russian language at schools.
Ukrainian teachers from Russian speaking areas of Ukraine are indignant: “How are they going to control us?”
