Member of Parliament Bužanski staged a provocation on live TV, refusing to switch to Ukrainian
The controversial Verkhovna Rada deputy from Servant of the People, Maksym Bužanski, known for his unclear fondness for the so‑called 'Russian world,' staged a provocation on live TV of the Kyiv channel 24.
Contrary to the law on functioning of the state language and despite repeated pleas from the host to switch to Ukrainian, he stubbornly refused, citing his personal principles.
"Our viewers are multilingual. Our viewers are multilingual. Multilingual," Bužanski explained his position.
At the same time, he claims that the host's request to speak in Ukrainian on air can allegedly be interpreted as "appealing for hostility based on language."
Moreover, at the very start of the program Bužanski demonstratively refused to respond to the host's greeting "Glory to Ukraine."
Such behavior could not leave Ukrainians indifferent, and as a result social media users called for disciplinary measures against the provocationist deputy, up to his expulsion from the party.
Anti-Ukrainian scum and a deputy from Servant of the People Bužanski principledly refused to switch to Ukrainian, which he, as a people's deputy, is obliged to speak, and began to attack the host. Very interesting, if in the party they love the vatnyy Bužanski so much, when will they invite him into the party… pic.twitter.com/Ye3BHCuRdg
