Is it that, or is it Russia acting as the imperial power it once was? Ukraine has been a meaningful part of Russia for a long time, with its achievements (social, arts, science etc) being a big part of Russian history. I’m not sure that Russia is taking the loss very well. I’ve encounter Russians who dispute the existence of Ukraine “it’s all Russia”. The feelings run very deep.

A Russian would travel to any interesting part of Ukraine (usually Kiev, Crimea, Odessa, Kharkov) and notice that nobody actually talks in Ukrainian around them.

A week of not hearing anybody actually use the only official language of the country, that Russian would conclude that Ukraine is mostly fake.

Of course that led Russians to underappreciate the willingness of Ukraine citizens to actually fight for it.

When an English person goes to USA, Australia or any other former colony, is it reasonable for them to assume those countries are fake?

Are they trying to limit the English language usage?

Was Ukraine? Hard to believe if Ukraine was heard nowhere (according to you) and their president spoke Russian.

Now, yes, of course.

Yes, it was, but that's not even relevant to the fakery issue.

This is Russian propaganda and not even true all Ukraine did was introduce a bill to make all offical communications be provided in Ukrainian.

Nothing stopping people providing it in Russian too.

The bill does a lot more than that, and is quite obnoxious actually.

Can you provide a link all I’ve seen from sources is that it required all offical information to be in Ukrainian.

There's this thing known as Wikipedia, which has a full summary of law's major provisions. It's missing a few aspects unfortunately, but I'm sure you'll be able to find those on your own.

I invite you, in particular, to make a careful study of Article 23.

That Russian would conclude that Ukraine is mostly fake.

If they have the social and political awareness of a 12 year-old, perhaps.

Nobody actually talks in Ukrainian around them.

Absolutely not true for (and a very weird thing to say about) Kyiv.

In Odesa/Kharkiv Russian is clearly dominant, but it's not like you'll never hear Ukrainian spoken.
