You do know that speaking Russian is forbidden in Ukraine, right? You can go to jail for it.

“...You do know that speaking Russian is forbidden in Ukraine, right? You can go to jail for it...”

What a ridiculous lie !!! There are millions of Russian speakers in Ukraine. They are patriotic Ukrainians and many thousands of them are fighting the Russians.

Speaking Russian in everyday life is not banned in Ukraine. There has been very recent legislation (2019) to restrict the use of other languages in public communications, and to impose fines if the law is violated. So far as I know, no one in Ukraine is imprisoned for speaking Russian or using the language.
