DISINFO: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine instructs on how to report Russian-speaking citizens
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ General Staff has drawn up instructions on how to report citizens, speaking Russian.
RESPONSE
This is a pro-Kremlin narrative that Ukrainians allegedly reject the Russian language and are anti-Russian.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not developed instructions on reporting Russian-speaking citizens. On their official Facebook page, they posted the directions to ensure that Article 30 of the Law of Ukraine "On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language" is upheld, and the actions that should be followed if the law is violated.
