The ban on public use of the Russian language that was introduced by deputies of the Lviv regional council requires a response from international human rights organizations – said SergeyZheleznyak, member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
Earlier, the ZIK television channel reported that the Lviv regional council had decided to ban the public use of the “Russian-language cultural product” in the region.
“The moratorium on the Russian language introduced by the deputies of the Lviv regional council is a direct violation of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens living in this territory.” We express our protest and will demand an appropriate response from international human rights organizations” – Zheleznyak said.
