“In the pre-election race in Ukraine, the factor of the Russian language is constantly remembered and clutching at it like a lifeline. The Russian-speaking electorate is traditionally active and comes to vote, which means it will provide votes. But in today's Ukraine it’s like fighting for something Russian - as if going full length under bullets, ”he said.
Balbek also noted that the radical forces, which, "without a doubt, will get into the new parliament, will arrange a real war to this bill."
Earlier, deputies from the party "Opposition bloc" submitted to the parliament a bill on the abolition of the language law.
Parliamentarians claim that the law was passed with gross violations.
