Hannia... you are broadly speaking correct in what you say, however there are some incorrect assumptions made....you say "mail order" as if it is something offensive or dodgy, whilst my wife and I first "met" on the internet it was not via a site available via a Mariupol search, also you state my in laws don`t want to learn Ukrainian.. how do you know this?? it is not something I have discussed on this forum, you call them "native Russian speakers", surely there is a clue in your statement?? indeed there are many native Russian speakers in Ukraine and if you are suggesting that it would be right to insist they all must speak only Ukrainian is that in itself not an erosion of there human rights???. Would not my earlier suggestion of a dual language system be far more civilised?? or are you too nationalistic to accept this compromise??.
