Problems of Implementation of the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages by Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: In the article the problems of implementation of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages are let on. In particular, it admits that during the years of its independence Ukraine didn’t provide any system language policy and became a hostage of the signing of the Charter, as it undertook the responsibility to support and develop regional languages without any enactment of the law about the state language. As a result of political manipulations the provision of the functioning of Ukrainian language by the state was not made on a proper level. The latent language conflicts became a formal reason for the events in the Crimea and on the East of Ukraine and were used to invade the Ukrainian territories.
