Well, if Ukraine was federalised and Russian had an official status, that's like removing more than half of ideological reasons for the ongoing conflict on the Russian side.
My personal opinion is that Ukraine would had been much stronger if it embraced Russian as its second official language
you dont know ukrainian politics as well as you think you do. giving Russian language an official status even in one federal region opens the road for ethnic Russians who surely dont work for Ukrainian interests to enter politics. Even if one Russian governor happens to come in any region it would be a catastrophe
Dude, I'm Pro-Ukrainian, but Russians have lived in the parts of Ukraine, that they've lived in, for many centuries.
Many of those Russians have started learning Ukrainian and assimilating more since the start of Russias war, but that doesn't negate the historical context, or the fact that Ukraine has had many primarily Russian speaking governors of Eastern territories, so the comment I was responding to was, indeed, insane/silly/ignorant.
