[citation needed] Ethnologue lists 40 minority languages and dialects in Ukraine; nearly all are native to the former Soviet Union.

[8] According to the Council of Europe, this act fails to achieve fair protection of the linguistic rights of minorities.

[9] On 7 June 2024, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the list of minority languages recognised as endangered.

[13] The methodology was that the survey was not related to the topic of language, but the questionnaires themselves were in three versions: in Russian, Ukrainian, and English.

[14] A March 2010 poll[15] by Research & Branding Group showed that 65% considered Ukrainian as their native language and 33% Russian.

[16] An August 2011 poll by Razumkov Centre showed that 53.3% of the respondents use the Ukrainian language in everyday life, while 44.5% use Russian.

For the preferred language of work, an equal amount chose either Ukrainian or Russian (37%) and 21% communicated bilingually.

[21] In November 2016, a new rule came into force requiring Ukraine's radio stations to play a quota of Ukrainian-language songs each day.
