News 360: Ukraine fines mayor of Kharkov for speaking Russian on official channels
Ukrainian authorities have fined the mayor of Kharkov, Igor Terekhov, nearly 100 euros for speaking Russian on television and managing his social networks in the same language, as he would have violated a law that places Ukrainian as the vehicular language throughout the state, even before the Russian invasion.
The Commission for the Protection of the State Language has noted that Terekhov has been fined an administrative penalty in the amount of 3,400 grivnas (about 93 euros) for the use of "profane language" during his official broadcasts on television, as well as on his Facebook and Telegram profiles.
The sanction will take effect on December 4, 2022, the end of the four weeks Terekhov will have to appeal, and comes after several regional authorities have denounced the mayor of Kharkov for repeatedly addressing citizens in Russian, Ukrinform agency reports.

Update: Mayor of Ukraine’s second-largest city fined for speaking Russian (RT)
WNU Editor: Alienating a third of your population because they regard the Russian language as their primary language at home, while fighting a war at the same time, tells me that the government in Kyiv has written off this segment of the population.
Make sense, so sensitive for somebody in your own to speak the language of your enemy otherwise you are not using or do not have logic. ait is just right to check loyalty from the smallest means even in language spoken.
ReplyDeleteIf you are Russian will you allow somebody in your constituents to speak Ukranians in an event of war?
That’s just ridiculous. It’s a bilingual country and those Russian speakers are Ukrainian. You most certainly must be a liberal or democrat voter. One step away from open genocide on Russian speakers. Maybe there is a connection between the current Ukrainian government and Nazism
DeleteThe ostentatious embroidery makes the people wearing folk costume look like clowns. thin that of all European custom and many Indian costumes. It is almost seems like a break in decor from trends before the 20th century. You can't draw a line from now back to the 19th or previous centuries, because they went exponential with the embroidery. It gauche in a way. My opinion.
ReplyDeleteI see 7:36's argument. But the background seems like he was speaking at a cultural event, so speaking Russian would be appropriate. Or did he speak in Ukrainian and Russian?
Quiz for WNU. How many ethnic Ukrainians get to speak Ukrainian in Russia. Especially the ones, who have been exfiltrated from Ukraine against their will?
Question still stands. How many Ukrainians were forcibly relocated to Russia and are they allowed to speak Ukrainian?

Much as the NAZIs kidnapped children the Russians are doing the same in Ukraine. They ship them to Russia and they are placed with Russian families. they are not going to be allowed to speak Ukrainian.
Wait--ANON 9:07, are you also ANON 8:38? lol. What do you win if no one answers in 20 minutes? Or are you not paid unless you 'generate discussion?'
Deletelol this place is comedy
The editor is right. Did they have huge problems getting along before 2014,??
ReplyDeleteNo. Now you divide your population and turn them against each other.
Who benefited from that one?
Certainly not the Ukrainians. Nor have the Russians. These people were systematically pushed onto a civil war and then into a war with the Russians.
Why? and Who ultimately benefited.??
Part of the blame . CIA, Soros and NED and thier helpers in the BLOB
Pat Lang calls the DC defence establishment 'the Borg.'
