Chutzpah in Ukrainian: Language apartheid promoted by Russian-speaking politicians

Those who speak only Russian in high Ukrainian offices are the ones tightening the screws on language policy.

As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, Kyiv political strategist Andrey Zolotarev stated this in a conversation with journalist Vitaly Diky.

The presenter noted that former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, describing the situation surrounding the scandal with Zelensky's office, called "all this nonsense political chutzpah."

"The main thing is that our viewers understand what chutzpah is. It's, for example, when a person who killed his parents asks the court for leniency because he's an orphan. That's chutzpah, the classic kind.

"I've said more than once that our country is run by chutzpahs—people who, on the one hand, speak Russian in their offices, but at the same time tighten the screws on language policy, creating a regime of language apartheid in plain sight. They teach patriotism, but at the same time rake in tens of millions in cash. In other words, absolute hypocrisy and cynicism, chutzpahs. I agree with Yulia Vladimirovna on this," Zolotarev said.
