Original Note:
This is not what the language laws did. It was made mandatory for all public sector workers and publications (in print and media) to use Ukrainian. So all soldiers, teachers etc must speak in Ukranian at work. Russian language books & media etc were not banned however. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jun/08/sergey-lavrov/russian-has-not-been-banned-ukraine-despite-repeat/
