A third of TV viewers in Odessa approved of total Ukrainization
The majority of residents of the Odessa region do not support Kyiv’s policy of total Ukrainization. These results of the survey were published by the local channel “Reporter” during an interactive voting on air, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
To the question “Do you approve of total Ukrainization?” 71% of respondents answered “No”, however, 29% chose the option “Yes”.
The survey was conducted in light of adopted on October 4 by the Verkhovna Rada in the first reading of the law “On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language,” which, among other things, obliges all Ukrainian television channels to broadcast 75% of content in Ukrainian.
Earlier, PolitNavigator quoted the words of Verkhovna Rada deputy Nikolai Knyazhytsky, who said that the haste with which the language law was adopted in the Ukrainian parliament can be explained by mistrust in the next convocation of the Verkhovna Rada.
