Robert Lane Greene's book “You are what you speak” may be regarded as one of the most devastating pieces of criticism of language planning sponsored by the Ukrainian government.

"Create a state that everyone hates and then yoke it to an official language, and both the language and the state may fail. Create a society people want to join, such as the international community of English speakers or a modern, tolerant South Africa, and it is never necessary to force a language on anyone.”

[Greene, 2011: 162 - 163]
