December 27, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Ukrainian government has listed Belarusian in a bill on languages supported and protected in Ukraine under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, said Taras Melnychuk, who represents the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers in the Verkhovna Rada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news comes three days after the reports that Kyiv intended to drop Belarusian from the list over the Minsk authorities\u2019 support of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine. Russian has been already excluded from the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charter was adopted in Strasbourg on November 5, 1992, by Council of Europe (CoE) member states but is open for signature by European countries outside CoE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document highlights the promotion of mutual understanding between all linguistic groups of a country and respect for the geographical area of regional or minority languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
