I believe what he is referring to is the the 2019 set of laws, in particular:
all workers in public sectors must first attempt to speak to clients or customers in Ukrainian. If the client then asks to switch to Russian, both parties can continue.
The second one: a 2012 law stated that any municipalities with more than 10% registered native Russian speakers, will have the option of government services (notaries, courts, and most importantly schools).
In 2018 this law was repealed, making Ukrainian the only language allowed in use for government services.
Some have also complained about the ban on books printed in Russia, but this was after February 22, so more understandable.
Lastly, a ban on Russian music unless the artist has publicly condemned the invasion. And the Security Services decide who is on the list.
I don't know how easily enforced this is, but that's generally what pro-Russian people mean when they say *the Russian language is banned! "
