MP Hennadiy Moskal registered in the Verkhovna Rada a draft law on amendments to Article 7 of the
law of Ukraine on principles of national language policy on the comprehensive development of the
English language.

The document provides for including list English into the list of regional languages.

In particular, Moskal said that according to the law on principles of national language policy, "the
state shall promote the development of multi-language environment, studying languages of
international communication, especially those that are the official languages of the United Nations,
UNESCO and other international organizations".

Among the six official UN languages - Arabic, English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and French. The
most widespread ones in Ukraine are Russian and English.
