The Decer and the War in Ukraine

There is a law in Ukraine which says that when you go into a shop or into a cafe the person working that cafe has to greet you in Ukrainian. If you then decide to switch to Russian then they are welcome to continue that conversation in Russian and that's perfectly legal but if you say I want to continue in Ukrainian they have to continue with you now of course in some places it's easier than others. A decer is traditionally a very Russian speaking city so there's a group of small group of Ukrainian patriotic vigilantes running around checking up on this. The lady who started this her grandfather was killed by the Russians at the beginning of the war in a missile strike on a decer.
