Summary/Abstract: Council of Europe monitoring mechanism for the protection of national minorities rights reveals the involution of the education in national minorities languages in Ukraine. Between 1999 and 2020 Ukraine underwent four cycles of monitoring, composed of a state report, an opinion of a panel of experts and a resolution adopted by the Council of Ministers of the Council of Europe. The present article proposes a review of these monitoring cycles with a focus on the situation of education in national minorities languages. The Ukrainian Government`s policy of compelling all schools to exclusive use of Ukrainian language was noted by the mentioned monitoring mechanism, but there was no noticeable improvement of the situation during 1999–2020.
