<p>The law on the Ukrainian national language should not be
opportunistic. This opinion was expressed by President of Ukraine Petro
Poroshenko, speaking to Lviv at the celebrations posvyashennyh the 150th
anniversary of the creation of a society “Prosvita”, reports
“Interfax-Ukraine”.</p>
<p>According to Poroshenko, the corresponding zakonoproekt was adopted
by the Verkhovna Rada in the first reading. It aims to ensure the
functioning of Ukrainian as the state language.</p><div style="text-align:center;width:100%;height:auto;clear:none" class="gmail-google-auto-placed gmail-ap_container"><ins style="display:block;margin:auto;background-color:transparent" class="gmail-adsbygoogle gmail-adsbygoogle-noablate"><ins id="gmail-aswift_4_expand" style="display:inline-table;border:medium none;height:156px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:622px;background-color:transparent"><ins id="gmail-aswift_4_anchor" style="display:block;border:medium none;height:156px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:622px;background-color:transparent"></ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>“I was not a supporter of that consideration took place on the eve of
the election campaign. I don’t want someone speculated on this subject,
because language is not a subject for speculation. Strategic for
Ukraine the law must be clearly stripped of any situation “, – said
Poroshenko.</p>
<p>Poroshenko said that this law if passed, it should be “forever”.</p>
<p>The head of state also expressed confidence in the future membership
of Ukraine in the European Union, therefore, according to the guarantor,
the law should be harmonized with European models of language policy.</p>
<p>As reported, on 4 October, the Verkhovna Rada endorsed the first
reading of a bill (No. 5670-d) on ensuring of functioning of Ukrainian
as the state language.</p>
<p>The bill provides for the establishment of the Commissioner for the
protection of the state language. Functions of the Commissioner will be
the protection of the Ukrainian language as an element of the
constitutional order, and protection of the rights of citizens to
receive the state language information and services in all spheres of
public life throughout the country.</p>
<p>It is proposed to introduce administrative responsibility for violation of legislation in the sphere of using state language.</p>
<p>In addition, there is a criminal responsibility for “public humiliation and disregard for the state language”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Earlier Znayu reported that the Russian language “verse” officially
in another region. So, in Ivano-Frankivsk region passed the moratorium
on Russian-speaking cultural product until the termination of occupation
by the aggressor of the Crimea and the Donbass. All television, radio,
plays, concerts and other cultural events must now take place in the
state language.</p>
<p>Recall “I don’t know Ukrainian? Talking to Putin? Go to Russia” – the
supermarket buyers have schooled the cashier, who “forgot where he
lives. By the way, this language scandal in one supermarket – scored
relatively serious momentum. Even had to involve the cops.</p><div style="text-align:center;width:100%;height:auto;clear:none" class="gmail-google-auto-placed gmail-ap_container"><ins style="display:block;margin:auto;background-color:transparent" class="gmail-adsbygoogle gmail-adsbygoogle-noablate"><ins id="gmail-aswift_5_expand" style="display:inline-table;border:medium none;height:156px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:622px;background-color:transparent"><ins id="gmail-aswift_5_anchor" style="display:block;border:medium none;height:156px;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:622px;background-color:transparent"></ins></ins></ins></div>
<p>As for the cops and supermarkets, that is the story that ended very
badly. Our portal has previously written about 24-year-old buyer, who
was accused of stealing products in the Kharkiv supermarket “Growth” and
is shot by a police officer. However, it was not this young man an
innocent victim. He lashed out at police with a knife and inflicted
several wounds, the COP shot in self-defense. T</p></div>
