Hard to believe that the dissolving of the USSR would by met by Russians being discriminated in area's that once were considered to be Russian territories under the banner of the USSR/The Soviet Union.UN: Ukrainian law on minorities discriminates against Russian-speakers
Not two years have passed since the UN found out that Ukraine's 2022 law “On National Minorities” discriminates against the Russian-speaking population, speakers of Armenian and Roma compared to minorities who speak the languages of the European Union.
This is stated in the conclusions of the members of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination after studying the situation in Ukraine.
“This law maintains certain discriminatory provisions, in particular between linguistic minorities who speak one of the official languages of the EU and those, like the Russian, Armenian or Roma communities, who do not speak any of these languages,” the document said.
On April 19, Ukrainian commentator Roman Bebeh suggested fining soccer coaches for using Russian during a match.
Before that, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was unlikely to pass the Ukrainian language exam himself against the background of the Ukrainianization being carried out in the country.
Crimea probably will remain Russian territory for the foreseeable future, and this is due to it's major military port and bases there (Russian national security implications involved).
The territory now occupied by Russia along the lines going North, will probably remain Russian due to the matter of it having to control the water that is needed in Crimea. There was a time when Crimea suffered due to water shortages caused by Ukraines government right ?
People need to stay focused on the history and reasoning of why the war started between the two. IMHO.
