Why so many ukrainians make little to no effort to speak ukrainian?

I am from Bucharest, a city with a lot of ukrainian immigrants from the war

A thing I keep noticing since ukrainians started appearing is that basically 70% of the ukrainians on the street speak russian, and even surzhyk is only spoken by like a further 15%

I am trying to understand the things that the ukrainian language went through, and why so many ukrainians speak russian, but one would think they would try to stop speaking it now that russia is invading their country, it makes me kinda mad whenever i hear ukrainian families speaking their invaders language but at the same time it’s not really my place to get mad over it

Can anyone please explain it to me? I speak russian and I would love to learn ukrainian, it sounds more beautiful and melodic, but it is very difficult to learn and also apparently not even you guys speak it (/j)

How is living in a country with less than 50% literacy rate?

Do shops and stalls not have written signs about what they sell? Do people just not read or write anything, in their lives? Of course I am aware of its atrocious effects on day to day life, but to what extent do they exist/are they felt? It’s just something my mind cannot comprehend, being lucky to not be born in such a place

What is with these lines in my photo - Nikon EM

Not all of the photos have them, but quite a few have, is it maybe because i opened the camera with the film still out? or maybe i rolled it wrong and it creased?

Can anyone understand this?

My gf bought me this vinyl (Vivaldi concertos) at a flea market and i noticed it came with some little note that someone wrote for the person they gifted it to some decades ago (probably). I can’t really read this type of cursive, so maybe it’s an italian thing, could you please help me decipher it? I understand italian pretty well (my native language is similar to it), the hard part is reading the actual text.

Lasand gluma la o parte, am auzit numai lucruri bune de orasul vostru si abia astept sa il vad, de mult timp planuiesc dar abia acum am avut ocazia. Daca imi puteti recomanda si alte cluburi misto sau resturante bune si oarecum ieftine, ar fi super.

Combien de gens parlent le français en Algérie dans la vie quotidienne? Et qu’est ce que vous en pensez? Est ce que le français doit y être moins utilisé selon vous ?

Je vous demande par curiosité, salut de Roumanie 🇷🇴

I know at least a few things about almost all african countries but Zambia. I guess it has intrigued me for some time, especially with such a cool flag 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲 and absolutely no information from people living there
