Looks like the section I read had to do with citizenship and applied specifically to people who were granted citizenship for doing military service and gained a temporary exemption.

"Article 7. Obligation to speak the state language for acquiring Ukrainian citizenship

1. A person who intends to acquire Ukrainian citizenship must certify the appropriate level of proficiency in the state language.

Persons who have outstanding merits for Ukraine, including foreigners and stateless persons who, in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of Ukraine, undergo military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and have been awarded a state award, and persons whose acceptance into Ukrainian citizenship is in the state interest of Ukraine, have the right to acquire Ukrainian citizenship without certifying the level of proficiency in the state language. Such persons are obliged to master the state language at the level determined by the legislation within one year from the date of acquisition of citizenship."

- In any case, the purpose of all these language laws is to remove the Russian language from Ukraine, despite the fact that a large part of the country speak Russian.

The idiot Albanese has just announced that we have an "obligation" to help Ukraine because, he says, "they are fighting for us". What an ignorant tosser that man is.

Well, Well, Well.
Looks like the Russians have themselves a US Reaper Drone.

American drone lost in Black Sea found near main Russian base in Crimea
http://news.yahoo.com/american-drone-lost-black-sea-133142411.html

"The American MQ-9 Reaper UAV, which fell into the Black Sea due to the actions of a Russian fighter jet, was located near the Russian base in Sevastopol.

Analysts compared the coastline in the video with Google Earth data and came to the conclusion that "it is most likely the area southwest of Sevastopol." The publication cited US data that the MQ-9 Reaper was in neutral airspace, that is, at least 22 km from the coastline.

Thus, the American drone really got close to the base of the Russian Federation, and at the same time could conduct optical reconnaissance thanks to the cameras. Not only the main naval base of the Russian Federation, but also the air bases near Sevastopol, in particular Belbek a military airfield in Sevastopol, were in the drone’s field of view."

Zelenskyy on anniversary of Russian attack on Mariupol Drama Theatre: "ruscism" will not go unpunished

"Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy marked the anniversary of the Russian bombing of Mariupol Drama Theatre, saying that Ukraine will bring its perpetrators to justice."

"A year ago, Russian forces committed one of the worst crimes of this war. Russian bombs destroyed a theatre in Mariupol. A building that was used as a shelter. There were women with children, pregnant women, and the elderly there. A civilian target was deliberately destroyed by the occupation forces. We still don't know the exact number of fatalities. Hundreds of people? A thousand?"

Shut your dirty filthy lying mouth Zelensky.
- YOU killed those women and kids.

What REALLY Happened At The Mariupol Drama Theatre.

But hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Especially when the Wests narrative is 'Get Putin'
- Lying POS.

See my post on this thread dated Sunday, 12 March 2023 11:51:20 AM. I'm not surprised that you missed the link since you really aren't interested in anything that doesn't confirm your beliefs.

Well that looks like a strange way to admit that the thing you've been confidently asserting as unassailable fact for weeks is indeed total BS, but alas....

Just to make the point again, AC based his belief that Ukraine had banned the Russian language on a statement from Russian foreign minister Lavrov who AC asserted wouldn't lie. Now that he knows Lavrov lied, will AC now take the words emanating from the Kremlin with a grain of salt? Yeah, sure! Oh look up there, a flock of pigs flying by.

AC,

The drone may have been spying, but as it was well into international waters the attack on the drone could be seen as an act of war. How do you think this plays out in the US when deciding which weapons and how much to send to Ukraine?

I see that the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes.

I also see that Russia's output of tanks is 20 new T90s and 7 refurbished T62s a month. All this while they are losing 150 tanks a month.

Russia's budget deficit is now between $25bn and $40bn. Its reserves are about $400bn. Do the maths.

Russia's offensive has petered out with trivial gains and huge losses. Russia cannot continue fighting indefinitely and is losing this war
