No one has raised a question of assigning Russian language with the status of a regional language in Kyiv City Council.

"Kyiv City Council has not received a relevant draft instruction," the press service of Kyiv City Council told Interfax-Ukraine on Friday.

Earlier, Odesa city and regional councils declared Russian a regional language.

Deputies of Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Luhansk, and Kherson regional councils and Sevastopol City Council have also approved the same decision.
