      So she’s struggling with her studies and she knows Russian, so the college tells her to take a subject she already knows. It may have been a bit insensitive but its hardly worth a newspaper article, this wasn’t some kind of organised repression of Ukrainian’s by the college, just a ham fisted attempt to help a struggling student

      This is not really news just unfortunate.

      Many many Ukrainians know Russian already. A level language courses are not aimed at people who already know the language. So someone who is fluent in a language is guided to take that language as a very easy a level

      In this case it backfired. She wasn’t forced to, they genuinely thought it’d help her.

      So she was failing/struggling in other subjects, so the college advised her to take a subject she would likely do well in. That’s sound advice, not racist oppression

      Dumbest story I’ve ever read. They speak russian in parts of Ukraine, including the part of Ukraine _this woman is from_. The school was right to try to help her by giving her an essentially free A level and a ticket to a decent university. Racism my ass. Could even be a Russia planted story, just based on how stupid it is, given the standard of Russian intel ops these days.

      Russian is a major minority language in Ukraine and much of the former USSR and even Warsaw Pact. Even if the article was correct and she didn’t know a word it just makes sense. If you have a problem with a language you really are just bordering on bigotry of a certain people over a war.

      Don’t get me wrong the war in Ukraine is horrific and Russias government and some of its people do deserve the blame, but hating on a language that goes all the way through Central Asia and elsewhere purely because of the war is just anti Russian bigotry that fuels part of the conflict and stops Ukrainian/Russian unity, and that’s even ignoring the fact many Ukrainians speak it as their first language anyway without knowing many Russians. This is the case for most of Southern Ukraine, including Odessa for example.
