Zelensky's party began by mocking the Russians of Ukraine
The party of Vladimir Zelensky, which won largely thanks to the votes of the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine, does not intend to restore the law on regional languages repealed by the Maidan activists or grant the Russian language the status of a second state language. The maximum that Russian speakers can count on is the status of Russian as regional in the Donbass.
The head of the presidential party Servant of the People, Dmitry Razumkov, stated this on the air of the talk show “Right to Power,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The position of Vladimir Zelensky, the position of our team, it is unchanged, it was voiced during the presidential election campaign - this is a political and internal position that the only state language in our country is the Ukrainian language.
Regarding the issue of the Russian language for the territories that are today under occupation, Zelensky also spoke about this when he was still a candidate, that this is a possible discussion on the use of the Russian language there. This corresponds to the European Charter on Languages, this corresponds to the Constitution of our state,” Razumkov said.
The language law today is not on the agenda of the presidential team at all, said Secretary of the National Investment Council David Arakhamia, who entered parliament on the Servant of the People list: “We have been at the party headquarters for the last two weeks, I have never heard of language, because we We are working on a block - there are more than a hundred bills to improve the lives of Ukrainians. There is no language there. There are priorities. If we are a mono-majority, then we actually say what is included in the regulations. We won’t have a language in the first six months for sure.”
