A new bill banning the Russian language in schools has been submitted to the parliament.

A new bill has been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada proposing to completely ban the use of the Russian language in Ukrainian schools, including during recess. This was announced on March 12 by MP Maxim Buzhansky (Servant of the People party).

"Another attempt has been registered in the parliament to ban communication in Russian during recess at school," he wrote on the Telegram channel.

He noted that the essence of the project has not changed since the last attempt to ban the Russian language, added in "Газете.Ru ".

In October 2024, Natalia Pipa, a deputy and secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on Education, Science and Innovation, submitted to the parliament a bill that would ban only Russian language in all schools in Ukraine. It was noted that it is allowed to speak in any other language.

In turn, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at a meeting with Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Vulin on August 14 of the same year, stressed the need to curb the activities of the Ukrainian leadership to destroy the Russian language, education, media, culture, as well as the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).
