How to be to Ukraine with its language? The author of the article reflects on the ways of further development of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine as the only state language and offers specific extraordinary measures to achieve this goal. In particular, the author considers a number of special measures for the early inclusion of children aged 3-6 years from Russian-speaking families into the sphere of phonetic, prosodic, grammatical and lexical norms of the Ukrainian language. At the stage of growing up (17-22 years old), the author recommends introducing compulsory higher education in Ukraine with a degree in the Ukrainian language and literature for all young people who have not passed special secondary oral and written secondary school exams in the Ukrainian language.
