Autoritățile din Ucraina au desființat clasa I cu predare în limba română din Orlivka. Părinții ar fi fost amenințați să-și schimbe opțiunea

The start of the school year in southern Odesa has sparked controversy after the closure of a Romanian-language class in Orlivka, despite the area's predominantly Romanian population. This decision raises concerns about minority rights in Ukraine amid its EU accession negotiations. Local authorities reportedly pressured parents to change their language preferences for education, leading to fears and intimidation. The Romanian Foreign Ministry is in contact with Ukrainian officials to find a solution for the affected children. The Romanian Consulate plans to visit Orlivka to address the situation directly with local authorities.
