3 min read

Specialized experts believe that during the war, English becomes critically important for Ukraine, especially in the military and corporate spheres.

“We are convinced that English is a key tool for improving the effectiveness of Ukraine's interaction with international partners, particularly in the military sphere, where the correct understanding and use of Western weapons requires a thorough knowledge of English,” said Rostyslav Romaniuk, director of Empire English School, during a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine.

He also emphasized the need for the Ukrainian military to have a high level of English.

“We see that every word matters on the battlefield, and any language mistake can lead to disastrous consequences,” he said.

Rostyslav Romaniuk emphasized that English is becoming necessary not only for the use of Western weapons, but also for communication with foreign instructors and military partners. Specialized organizations emphasize that this need should be taken into account when developing educational programs for the military.

Empire English School, which has been providing English language training services in Ukraine for more than seven years, has faced new challenges due to the war. The demand for corporate English training has grown significantly, as most companies are forced to adapt to new conditions and do business internationally.

Specialized organizations believe that English has become an integral part of the development strategy of Ukrainian companies, especially after the transition to remote work and the growth of international relations.

“Ukraine's educational system is facing the problem of the outflow of qualified personnel. We are seeing a significant shortage of English language teachers as many specialists were forced to leave the country due to the war. This creates challenges for the education system and needs to be addressed immediately,” emphasized the director of Empire English School.

The expert also drew attention to the role of English in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans.

“Learning English can be a powerful tool not only for professional development, but also for rehabilitation of veterans, helping them to adapt to civilian life after the war,” said Romaniuk.

This position is supported by specialized organizations, which believe that language learning will contribute not only to the professional development of veterans, but also to their integration into society.

Rostyslav Romaniuk emphasized that knowledge of English is critical for the future of Ukraine, especially in the context of the country's post-war recovery.

“English opens the door for Ukraine to international markets, attracting investment and global cooperation, which is crucial for economic recovery,” said Mr. Romaniuk.
