“From the reaction of our international partners, we see that the law on education turns Ukraine into a country that isolates itself.
It turns out that some of our politicians who initiated this law, hoping to get PR points from the right-wing radical audience, miscalculated.
This showed that they do not have foreign policy, or even European thinking.
Those demarches that followed from Poland, Hungary, Romania, even with the cancellation of the visit of the President of Romania, the unwillingness of Romania at the end of September to receive the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada in Bucharest, the reaction of Bulgaria, Greece - in many ways showed us that our politicians were playing too hard that what they accept remains only here.
In fact, this education law caused an explosive reaction. Domino chain, in Europe. I think that the fact that the president has not yet signed this law (although, most likely, he will sign it, with different wordings) indicates that Poroshenko will think about it and decided not to aggravate the situation during his visit to New York, realizing that Hungary and Romania can intensify this issue at the UN General Assembly. Therefore, an attempt was made to postpone this issue.
Obviously, if the president signs it, the consequences for Ukraine will be largely unpredictable.
This is an indicator of a very low understanding among parliamentarians of how Ukraine is now included in the international space. They initiate such things without even thinking about what mines they are laying for our foreign policy positions,” the expert said.
