Why would that be the case? In what is the word true doing here?
In Ukraine, the Ukrainian government wanted Ukrainian to be the main language at places like schools while the Russian-speaking majority didn’t want that to happen in Russian majority areas of the country.
An IAL that’s not spoken at school does nothing about that conflict.
The IAL can always be used at schools if Ukrainian & Russian kids want to talk.
With it around, there would be no decree to force Ukrainian tongue on Russian kids, and people in general. The Russians get what they want—to freely speak Russian in their areas. The Ukrainian government gets what it wants—stability, and the ability of smooth economic exchanges & other activities between regions of the country.
