The Ukrainian Education Ministry has supported a ban on speaking Russian in Ukrainian schools even during breaks.
This was reported by the Ukrainian News portal.
Ukrainian Education Minister Oksen Lisovoy said that it was necessary to provide for the possibility of equal development of the languages of the EU national communities, but this does not concern the Russian language.
Earlier, the relevant bill was introduced in the Rada by MP Natalia Pipa.
It was reported earlier that less than 40 per cent of schoolchildren speak pure Ukrainian outside schools.
