11.03.2026 - 17:01Ukraine’s Language Ombudswoman, Olena Ivanovska, urged tarot readers and astrologers to provide and sell their services on social media in Ukrainian.
She wrote this on Facebook.
“Bloggers, psychologists, coaches, marketers, stylists, tarot readers, astrologers, beauty-industry professionals, photographers, designers—registered as sole proprietors (FOPs)—who sell a certain product or service through their social networks must do so in the state language,” the post says.
Overall, her post focuses on compliance with language-law requirements in the online sphere.
According to Ivanovska, most complaints she receives concern violations by company and business websites. People report missing or malfunctioning Ukrainian-language versions of sites, social media pages run in Russian, and automatic loading of Russian-language content instead of Ukrainian-language content. As of March 10, the language ombudswoman had received 130 complaints about website violations, which is 28% of all complaints received so far this year.
At the same time, by law, enterprises, institutions, and organizations of all forms of ownership, as well as individual entrepreneurs, must serve customers and provide information about goods and services in the state language.
Last autumn, Ivanovska also complained that her daughter posted in Russian on social media because it is the language her friends use to communicate.
