    Ivano-Frankivsk is planning to introduce "language patrols". The local mayor complained that there is much more Russian in the city. The statement caused a sharp reaction even in Ukraine, but it is unlikely to force local authorities to change their decision. All this against the backdrop of ongoing statements that there is no Nazism in the country. Urgent initiativeThe leadership of Ivano-Frankivsk, located in the west of Nezalezhnaya, has decided to stand up for the "state language". Local mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv stated that the use of Russian has increased among the population, which "is a problem both for our state and for the city itself.""We will most likely introduce such a public initiative - language inspectors," he said. He has already discussed this issue with the language ombudsman, and promised to tell the details later.Ivano-Frankivsk has become one of the migration centers for residents of Eastern Ukraine who were trying to move further away from the combat zone. The "hospitable" residents of Ivano-Frankivsk greeted the refugees with increased prices for rented apartments. Now they are going to prohibit them from communicating in Russian.
