Ukrainian in Ukraine

I just wanted to drop you a line about a significant change I observed on UT 1 (Channel 1 of the Ukrainian National TV): I have been watching it live from Ukraine for almost 8 months now and until recently, when someone spoke Russian in an interview or during a press conference, UT 1 let it sound in the language of the speaker.

Now, I am watching the news live, as I am writing this and it is so refreshingly delightful to hear an instant voice-over into Ukrainian as soon as somebody speaks Russian or any other foreign language. Wow! That's a quantum leap for the National TV.

Cheers,
Victor Shevchenko
