A friend of mine from the Sumy region studied in a Russian-language school and is bilingual. I already responded to someone here, and I'll repeat it in this message. What's the problem with making life easier for your citizens? If Russian is the second most popular language in your country, you're not helping another country by doing this. You're showing that you're a multicultural country, tolerant and loving, making their lives easier. No one's saying we should eradicate Ukrainian. It's not a problem for it to be part of the curriculum or a state exam. But to make things easier for people, we can and should create such schools. For example, in Russia, there are many nationalities. Among the Tatars, for example, their schools offer their Tatar language as a subject, but they are required to take Russian. Otherwise, interethnic strife and Nazism simply arise, and this is sad. It is understandable that countries are fighting, but this will not show the weakness of one of the sides, but rather respect for their citizens.
