Iryna Farion, former nationalist Ukraine parliament member known for her Ukrainian language campaigns, was shot in Lviv. President Zelenskiy condemns violence; gunman search launched.
Farion's death is mourned; she vocally promoted the Ukrainian language, criticized Russian speakers, and took controversial stances during the conflict with Russia.
Despite Ukrainian as the official language, Russian remains widely spoken. Language promotion efforts persist through legislation to uphold Ukrainian usage.
