I’ve been having a lotta discussions around the Ukrianian Russian conflict and exploring the history with my friend. But they keep bringing up a claim that neither I nor they can find the source for.
The Claim is; Russia, Donetsk, Crimea and Luhansk at some point have suppressed the Ukrainian language. Specifically Since 2014.
Ukraines suppression of Russian is not contested, nor is Putins position on Ukranian identity.
Is there any proof of such a thing happening? I’ve taken the discussions previously as if its true because I don’t really know enough about the conflict but after extensive searching I cant find anything.

Donbas region speaks predominantly Russian. I’m not sure what specific policies have changed in those regions since 2014, if any. But I assume western propaganda has contorted the the discrepancy between the language policies in Ukraine and those in the donbas as evidence of some sort of suppression of Ukrainian.
When its quite the opposite.
DPR and LPR feature Ukrainian as electables in school. Even NATOpedia has Ukrainian listed as an official language of Zaporizhia oblast.
No. There is a Russian language ban in Nazi occupied Ukraine.
No, thats nafobots projection invented because they have no comeback to Ukraine banning Russian
There was Ukrainian language schooling in Donetsk if parents requested it up until 2025 but it was discontinued because there was no demand.
No. Ukraine, unsucessfully, is trying to stomp out russian and rusyn tho.
