In Kharkiv, a taxi driver was fined 5100 hryvnias for refusing to serve a passenger in the state language. This happened after he rudely refused to communicate in Ukrainian. The Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language, Olena Ivanovska, has already issued a verdict.This case is just one of many similar incidents. Earlier, in Odesa, a driver was also fined for refusing to switch to Ukrainian. There was also a scandal in Kyiv when a taxi driver refused to communicate in the state language, considering the passengers 'sick people'. It is clearly stated that language aggression will not be tolerated, and offenders must bear responsibility for their actions.
