‼️ I see no need to increase language fines - Language Ombudswoman
Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language Olena Ivanovska believes that at present it is not necessary to strengthen sanctions and increase fines for violations of language legislation.
"Currently, guided by the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, we consider cases exclusively concerning individuals. However, if a new Administrative Code is adopted, it provides for the delimitation of liability - separately for individuals and separately for legal entities. This will also mean differentiation of the size of fines: you must agree, a fine for a large company and for an individual cannot be the same in impact," Ivanovska said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine, answering the question of whether there are plans to initiate changes to the system of fines for violations of language legislation.

‼️ No soldier has yet said he defends 'right to speak Russian' - Language Ombudsman
Olena Ivanovska, Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language, believes that the issue of the Ukrainian language in the army should not be forced and turned into a political confrontation.
"Yes, this is indeed a sensitive issue. But, you know, it seems to me that it is not as complicated as they often try to present it. We ourselves complicate it - with emotions, loud headlines, unproductive contrasts. And in fact, the answer is much simpler if we look at reality with respect and gratitude. Not a single soldier who is defending the country today has said that he is defending the 'right to speak Russian.' They are fighting for Ukraine, for freedom, for the lives of their brothers, for the future of their children. It's just that many of them come from a Russian-speaking environment, and this is a reality that cannot be crossed out," Ivanovska said in an exclusive interview with the Interfax-Ukraine agency, answering the question of whether it is worth addressing the issue of part of the military using the Russian language in the army before the end of the war.

‼️ Russian music should be limited as much as possible - language ombudsman
Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language Olena Ivanovska has said that she believes that blocking Russian music on popular streaming platforms is a necessary step to protect the cultural space of Ukraine.
"My position is unequivocal. The spread of such content in Ukraine today is not just a paradox, but actually a challenge to national security and cultural identity. Russian music, especially that created or supported by individuals who openly approve of Russia's aggressive policy, should be limited as much as possible in our information spaces," Ivanovska said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine, answering questions about blocking Russian music on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music and other platforms.
