It is difficult to try to persuade the State Department to offer scholarships for Ukrainian language or to give more emphasis to Ukrainian when training diplomats for posts in Ukraine, when there are strong voices in Ukraine to make Russian a second state language and the Ukrainian government and parliament are not taking any decisive steps against this movement.

Dear Colleagues, 
 
Please visit the US State Department page about 
Critical Languages: 
http://www.caorc.org/language/ 
 
I note that Russian is the only Slavic language on the list. 
Does anyone with ties to the State Dept. know why this is 
so? Is there anything we can do to have Ukrainian 
included? 
 
Best wishes, 
NP
