Kolomoisky unleashes his mutts on the Donbass and the Russian language
Ukraine should not fulfill any requirements of the Minsk agreements, because following the special status, Donbass may demand the transfer of the capital from Kyiv to Donetsk.
Alexander Dubinsky, elected deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the pro-presidential Servant of the People party, stated this on air on the NASH TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Dubinsky, who serves the interests of the Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky on his 1+1 TV channel, burst into anti-Russian rhetoric.
“You and I understand that no special status for Donbass and no demands of Putin should be fulfilled simply because these are the demands of the aggressor. Now he demands one thing, and are you sure that after we fulfill these demands, the next demands will not turn out to be something else? For example, the fact that the capital of Ukraine should be in Donetsk, why not? After all, we understand perfectly well that now he is speaking from a position of strength and can demand anything.
And if Russian troops, the Kremlin, Putin himself, actually treacherously attacked Ukraine, provided armed support to the separatists, who consist of Russian mercenaries, and annexed Crimea. So, do these people have any trust at all? No, of course,” Dubinsky said.
The former journalist also added that the Russian language should not have any rights in Ukraine, giving Russian only a place in the kitchen.
“I am not at all against granting the status of regional languages to languages used by national minorities. The question here is quite debatable. If we are talking about the fact that there should be a regional language, Russian, then the regional language is Hungarian, the regional language is Romanian. This is a dangerous path. You see, there can be no exceptions to the rules. The rules must be the same for everyone.
Now I believe that there is no need to change anything in the area of language regulation, but we just need to talk about the following: that the Ukrainian language is now absolutely well protected by the fact that our education is in Ukrainian, and it should remain so. And office work in Ukrainian. If you want to communicate with the state, the state language is Ukrainian. If you want to study, the state language is Ukrainian.”
Note that Dubinsky’s rhetoric repeats the rhetoric of his patron Igor Kolomoisky, who recently marked by an anti-Russian interview RBC publication.
Political scientist Alexei Golobutsky noted this on his blog: “How quickly they change their shoes! Less than a day has passed since Kolomoisky’s new interview with anti-Russian emphasis - Dubinsky has already radically changed his rhetoric. Moreover, even tougher than Igor Kolomoisky allowed himself. In fact, Dubinsky became a Ukrainian nationalist. I’m waiting for Buzhansky to come out with a torch on Bandera’s birthday.”
