Ukraine has been granted the status of an associate member of the European Federation of National Language Institutions (EFNIL).

"Today, the front of the struggle for Ukraine is also the front of the establishment of the Ukrainian language. Therefore, it is a great honor for us to join the continental family of language institutions," said Taras Kremin, Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language.

EFNIL brings together the national language institutions of the EU member states. The main tasks are to monitor compliance with language legislation, protect state languages, collect materials on language policy in the EU, and encourage the study of official European languages for linguistic and cultural diversity in the EU.

In the conditions of the war with the Russian Federation, the struggle for language for Ukraine is a struggle for the self-identity of the Ukrainian nation.
