Russian-language “cultural product” can't be used in the Lviv region, IA People's News reports. According to the local media, this decision was supported by region-level elected representatives.

Parlamentarians concider to create Ad Hoc Working Group that conducts information and awareness-raising sessions with privates and legal personalities.

In the closest future regional parliament will prepare petition to the Verkhovna Rada. Lviv deputies want to propose amendments to the legal framework, that would ban public reproduction of audiovisual Russian-language content. 

Note,  in March 2018 Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada parliament passed the TV quotas bill which limits TV language quotas requiring major channels to broadcast at least 75% (and 50% for regional channels) of their programmes in Ukrainian. In November, 2016 another law was passed stating that at least 35% of songs have to be performed in the state language.
