The first lesson was held at the 150th Training Center of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was conducted by Oleksandr Cherkas, a teacher at the Ivan Bohun Military Lyceum in Kyiv, a finalist for the Global Teacher Prize Ukraine, a graduate student at the Kyiv National Linguistic University, and a trainer and moderator of the Unified conversation clubs.
“I am grateful to all servicemen who, by improving their language skills, demonstrate a responsible attitude to the foundations of national identity. I believe that similar initiatives will be implemented in all parts of the country, because the development of a network of such language courses, the strict use of Ukrainian in all spheres of public life, and a personal example of respect for the foundations of national security and defense are the key to our confident march to victory. The power of the mother tongue is affirmed by millions of unbreakable people!” said Taras Kremin.
