Exactly! Why not use such a situation of
political discontent as motivation for localisation?!?
The only reason that there’s Russian
displayed in Ukrainian wiki products is that these items haven’t been
translated yet.
Fwiw,

It might also be asked whether a fallback introduced after community requests
can or cannot be removed in the same way.
What can
be said however is that a decision on Wikipedia alone could not be enough since
also others use MediaWiki. It could maybe be disabled only for uk.wp.
We should also not forget Langcom doesn't have to say anything about MediaWiki
development and configuration; developers do this.

Hi,
Ukrainian Wikipedia community holds vote for disabling Russian fallback
language for Ukrainian interface language (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/³ê³ïåä³ÿ:Êíàéïà_(ïðîïîçèö³¿)#Çì³íà
ìîâíîãî ïðèîð³òåòó äëÿ îãîëîøåíü). Could langcom give procedural advices
for how it shall be done the right way (e.g. I think there should be links to
this vote from portal at TWN and in other Ukrainian Wikimedia projects' village
pumps). We have cases when such our requests were not done by developers in spite
of community decision so this time we need to know what way we should follow to
done it finally.
Sincerely,
