Pogrebinsky resorted to anti-Russian arguments in the fight against Ukrainization
The Ukrainian government should not limit the rights of the Russian-speaking population, citing difficult relations with Russia.
Russian-speaking citizens are also Ukrainian nationalists, and participated in the ATO on the side of Ukrainian troops, and therefore have equal rights with the Ukrainian-speaking population.
Political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on air on TV channel 112, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“When we move from the topic of the rights of citizens speaking and thinking Russian in Ukraine to the topic of Ukrainian-Russian relations, I am categorically against it.
People who speak Russian fight against the unrecognized republics, people who speak Russian act as anti-Semites or, conversely, defenders.
A variety of people are all citizens of our country. What does Kyiv-Moscow international politics have to do with this? None. The rights of these people must be protected in any case,” Pogrebinsky said.
Let us note that anti-Russian “Independence” politicians resort to similar arguments. In particular, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov stated that he is a Russian-speaking Ukrainian nationalist who hates Russians and Russia.
