Russian language is used as a motive and a tool of aggression in Ukraine along with military means. Given the considerable spread of daily use of the Russian language in Ukraine and Belarus, as well as external linguistic, cultural, economic and military pressure of Russia, how the construction of nation-states in these conditions is being seen?
