And meanwhile you have not made translations since 9 April, while MediaWiki for Ukrainian has 19 MediaWiki core messages untranslated, 4226 MediaWiki extension messages untranslated and 1295 Wikia MediaWiki extension messages untranslated. Compared to Russian, which has 0 MediaWiki core messages untranslated, 6 MediaWiki extension messages untranslated and 21 Wikia MediaWiki extension messages untranslated. Russian being a language that is widely understood in Ukraine, as well as written in the same script as Ukrainian, unlike English.

I appreciate the political sensitivities that come with the language of the former union, but as a more literate person than the average Ukrainian, which I assume you are, all emotions set aside, Russian is *the* best possible fallback language for Ukranian. I'm quoting the English language Wikipedia here: ''According to the Constitution, the state language of Ukraine is Ukrainian. While Russian, which was the de facto official language of the Soviet Union, is widely spoken, especially in eastern and southern Ukraine. According to the 2001 census, 67.5 percent of the population declared Ukrainian as their native language and 29.6 percent declared Russian.[124] Most native Ukrainian speakers know Russian as a second language.'' The English language is not mentioned. Let's be done with this.
