similar to the "stick" can be very slow, stop or even expand in the opposite direction, the process of Ukrainization of the country, said yurash. In his vision, spread of the Ukrainian language shall take place " organically."
"in person, for me, what carries more "carrots" in the process of Ukrainization, is a much better method. After all, if we allow such "whips" to multiply against the Ukrainian language, will see negative consequences, " - drew the attention of the Commissioner Zelensky.
at the end of April, the Parliament of Ukraine adopted the law " on ensuring the functioning of Ukrainian As the state language ", which involves the use of only Ukrainian language in practice in all spheres of life - it must become mandatory for state authorities and local self-government, all educational institutions, hospitals and services. The introduction of administrative liability for violation of the new normative act was postponed for 3 years.
