On February 23, 2014, the second day after the flight of
Viktor Yanukovich, while in a parliamentary session, a deputy from the
Batkivshchyna party,
Vyacheslav Kyrylenko, moved to include in the agenda a bill to repeal the 2012 law "On the principles of the state language policy". The motion was carried with 86% of the votes in favour—232 deputies in favour vs 37 opposed against the required minimum of 226 of 334 votes. The bill was included in the agenda, immediately put to a vote with no debate and approved with the same 232 voting in favour. The bill would have made Ukrainian the sole state language at all levels
n April 2015, the
Verkhovna Rada passed a law banning communist as well as Nazi propaganda and symbols.
[64] The names of cities, villages, streets and squares that referred to communist slogans and leaders fell under the ban and had to be changed.
[65] According to
Volodymyr Viatrovych, who had inspired the law, in October 2016 Ukraine's toponymy had undergone a complete process of
decommunization, including in the
Donbas region.
[66] Former Dnipropetrovsk became
Dnipro, and Kirovohrad became
Kropyvnytskyi. The de-Russification of Ukrainian toponymy implied also the removal from railways and airports of any information board written in Russian; as of December 2016, all information had to be given only in Ukrainian and English. Free Ukrainian language courses for civil servants working in the Donetsk regional administration were organised, and from January 2017 Ukrainian became the only language of official and interpersonal communication in public institutions.

In June 2016, a new law was enacted requiring Ukraine's radio stations to play a quota of Ukrainian-language songs each day. At least a quarter of a radio station's daily playlist had to be in Ukrainian from then on, rising to 30% in 12 months' time and 35% a year after that. The law also required TV and radio broadcasters to ensure at least 60% of programs such as news and analysis are in Ukrainian.
[67] The law entered into force on 9 November, the national day for Ukrainian Language and Literacy.
[66] President
Petro Poroshenko hailed the law calling on people to share their favourite Ukrainian song on social medias,
[68] while the pro-Russian
Opposition Bloc criticised the law and said people had the right to decide for themselves what to listen to, and in which language.
[67] According to
The Economist, the passage of a law downgrading Russian in Ukraine could have helped "spark war in that country; Vladimir Putin has used it as evidence that Ukrainian nationalists are bent on wiping out Russian culture there."
[69]
In May 2017, Verkhovna Rada enacted an analogous law prescribing a 75% Ukrainian-language quotas in all television channels operating in Ukraine.
[66]
Ukraine's 2017
education law made Ukrainian the required language of study in state schools from the fifth grade on, although it allows instruction in other languages as a separate subject,
[70][71][72] to be phased in 2023.
[73] Since 2017, the
Hungary–Ukraine relations rapidly deteriorated over the issue of the
Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
[74] The education law received criticism and has been accused of being nationalistic and needlessly provocative;
[75] Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko has defended the law, claiming that "The law ensures equal opportunities for all... It guarantees every graduate strong language skills essential for a successful career in Ukraine".
