President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has established the Romanian Language Day in Ukraine on August 31. This is stated in Decree No. 235 of March 12, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"In order to develop mutual understanding, mutual respect and cooperation in Ukrainian-Romanian relations, encouraging intercultural dialogue to preserve and develop the linguistic and cultural identity of Ukrainian citizens, I hereby decree: to establish the Day of the Romanian Language in Ukraine, which shall be celebrated annually on August 31," the document says.
This decree comes into force on the day of its publication.
On March 12, Zelenskyy is on a visit to Romania.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in December 2025, the Verkhovna Rada excluded russian and Moldovan from the list of languages that need support and protection under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The law stipulates that 18 languages will be protected in Ukraine, including Romanian.
