Russian language as Ukrainian heritage
Yulia Mendel, an official spokesperson for Ukrainian President Zelensky, said on Dom TV channel that the Ukrainian Russian language was part of the cultural diversity of Ukraine.
According to Mendel, it is high time for the Ukrainians to demonopolize the Russian language and announce the existence of the Ukrainian Russian language in Ukraine.
In early March, Arsen Avakov, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, announced that the Russian language largely belongs to Ukraine. He suggested organizing the broadcasting of Russian-language Ukrainian TV channels around the world. Avakov urged not to give away the Russian language to Russia and expressed confidence that the culture of the Russian language was part of the Ukrainian society.
