"Close the sky over Ukraine! Close from the bombs, from war aircrafts, from all these terrorists. Make a humanitarian zone! We are human. It is your humanitarian duty to protect people. And you are able to do it! If you don't do it, if you don't even provide us with planes so that we could protect ourselves - it means that you also want us slowly murdered" - President Zelensky to the Western political leaders, right after Ukrainian city Vinnytsia was hit by eight rockets.
March 6th, 14:24 Ukrainian time (12:24 GMT).

Just to be clear:
My advocacy for the preservation of minority languages has nothing to do with the fact that they are interesting/fascinating/any other adjective of that nature
Minority languages deserve protection because they are important, and they are valuable
The worth of a minority language is not determined by the entertainment it can provide to outsiders
While I believe that all languages are beautiful and unique, it shouldn't matter that a language is ugly, or boring or "useless"
Yes, Celtic folk music is beautiful, but that is not the reason for preserving Celtic languages
