Ukrainian to remain sole state language – Poroshenko
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has once again said that Ukrainian will remain the only state language in the country.
"I would like to remind you so that everyone remembers this as a prayer: the Ukrainian language is and will remain the only state language of Ukraine," Poroshenko said at the first meeting of the Constitutional Commission in Kyiv on Monday.
Poroshenko said most Ukrainians now support one language, Ukrainian, as a state language.
"Some one and a half years ago, society was evenly divided on the issue of one or two state languages. Now over three-quarters of Ukrainian people are firmly convinced that there should be one language and that it is the backbone that holds the nation together," Poroshenko said.
