Current Affairs Ukraine

You are aware of internal loans within language?

I have, but no doubt the Kiev regime will have banned those as well.

Just search for it yourself, I'm not doing your research for you. its widely known.

Well, it's curious to me, because I am part of an initiative to help Ukrainian professors and lecturers to improve their English. The vast majority, some 50 out of the 60 odd I worked with through the previous four months have spoken both languages professionally and personally, following the Russian invasion of their country there has been a switch to using Ukrainian only - at work and at home.

Some were natives of former Soviet countries, Belarus, Latvia and Estonia who were improving their Ukrainian. All worked within the highest levels of the Ukrainian education system.

"Widely known" I suspect only in the confine of your warped imagination.

so you've basically confirmed what I've said. Thanks.

Like I said, I've spoken to university lecturers in Kiev who have stated they are unable to teach certain courses in Ukrainian - in their case it was Physics.

Which university do they work at?

Yes, I've confirmed that the people who see themselves as Ukrainian have dropped speaking in Russian at home and at work.

I am asking for a source for the "information" you posted. It doesn't sit with my experience.

And how did you get to know them so well that you’re now Skype buddies

Told you I spoke to a couple of Ukrainian lecturers who said they couldnt teach their physics courses properly in Ukrainian.

To be fair, I think they have just reverted to Russian as its the only way forward, and damn the consequences.

And you said lecturers are now only speaking Ukrainian at work - I assume they dont have day jobs in factories??

Per your original post "Just to give you an example of how ridiculous the Kiev regime has become, no university courses are permitted to be taught in Russian"

I can't find evidence of that.

Pretty wild if true. That Ukrainian SO have been making contact with individual Russian pilots.

Sooo, you're saying... In Kiev, they cant teach Physics unless it's through Russian?
You know thats batshit crazy right?

So, they're working away in Ukranian, and then all of a sudden "crap, I don't know what Quark is in Ukrainian, I'll just switch everything to Russian"?

they werent working away in Ukranian in the first place

 

[Ruairi77]

So you're telling me Ukraine has banned the teaching of Physics in Russian language. Even banning the use of certain Russian technical terms that don't have Ukrainian equivalents?
You're also telling me Ukrainian speakers cant switch to Ukrainian to teach because the language cant handle certain Physics terms?

This is all in your head, totally made up, and absolutely 100% nonsense.

Remember, MSM (mainstream media for those unaware) is out of bounds, so maybe you should look on YouTube or MySpace.

Or maybe Donny in the Western Approaches after he's had a few too many Carlings.

Approaches not needed for those who know and I’ve only ever been in there once in my 63 years. Think I was underage then. To be on topic the locals were discussing the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine in the future

well I can assure you the textbooks don't exist in Ukrainian in a lot of cases.
