What are the key standards for Ukrainian language proficiency testing

The key standards for Ukrainian language proficiency testing are based on state regulations aligning with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels. The official Ukrainian Language Proficiency (ULP) test, launched in 2021, has two main versions: one for acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship (ULP-C) and another for holding civil office (ULP 2.0). These tests assess mastery of the official language as required by Ukrainian law, ensuring civil servants and naturalized citizens can effectively use Ukrainian in their duties. The proficiency levels tested correspond to CEFR standards, ensuring internationally recognized benchmarks are met. The tests focus on language skills required in official and civic contexts as mandated by Ukrainian government regulations. ^{1, 2}
