Original Note:
The Russian language is NOT banned in Ukraine, nor are Russian books per se. Restrictions have been placed on books imported from Russia. Zelenskyy is NOT a dictator. He won the 2019 election. In fact, Ukraine ranks higher than Russia in all freedom indexes. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/ukrainian-mps-vote-allow-russia-linked-church-be-banned-not-christianity-2024-08-23/ https://minorityrights.org/caught-in-the-crossfire-minority-languages-in-ukraine/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/20/ukraine-restricts-russian-books-and-music-in-latest-step-of-derussification https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/freedom-index-by-country
