In Ukraine, one state language is Ukrainian, and it is now fully protected, president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attempts of Deputies of the "Servant of the People" faction to change the law on the state language.
This is reported by Interfax-Ukraine.
"Everything was clearly written in the Constitution - one single state language is Ukrainian. All those who raise the issue of nationality, language, and church are all people who want to "hype" temporarily, with great consequences for many people, unfortunately. All these consequences are aimed at splitting society. I believe that the issue of language is not relevant yet. I believe that the Ukrainian language is completely protected," Zelensky said at a press conference on the sidelines of the forum "Ukraine 30. Culture. Media. Tourism " in Kyiv on Tuesday.
"If deputies do not like this or that law, and it does not matter which party they are from, if they see this issue as unfair, it is normal to talk about it, but there should be a public dialogue," the president added.
He also noted that Ukraine should create comfortable conditions for everyone, including in the language issue.
