A third of TV viewers in Odessa approved of total Ukrainization
The majority of residents of the Odessa region do not support Kyiv’s policy of total Ukrainization. These results of the survey were published by the local channel “Reporter” during an interactive voting on air, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
To the question “Do you approve of total Ukrainization?” 71% of respondents answered “No”, however, 29% chose the option “Yes”.
The survey was conducted in light of the law "On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language," adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on October 4 in its first reading. Among other things, this law requires all Ukrainian television channels to broadcast 75% of their content in Ukrainian.
PolitNavigator previously quoted Verkhovna Rada deputy Mykola Kniazhytskyi as saying that the haste with which the Ukrainian parliament adopted the language law was due to a lack of confidence in the next convocation of the Verkhovna Rada.
