This opinion was expressed by local politician, ex-mayor of Uzhgorod and former people’s deputy of previous convocations Sergei Ratushnyak.
“Bandera’s people want to prohibit us from using our native language, for some my native is Rusyn, for others Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hebrew, Russian. I am sure that Transcarpathia is against such initiatives. This is the path to confrontation and confrontation. If Kyiv continues to promote such laws, then we will have no choice but to build walls in the Trump style - Crimean, Donbass, Chernivtsi, Odessa, Lviv, and fence ourselves off from the hated Kyiv authorities. Who’s behind the wall?” Ratushnyak writes on his social network page.
Let us remind you that the new bill on languages, if adopted, will establish criminal liability for non-use of the Ukrainian language in the public sphere.
