MOSCOW, 14 Sep. Lviv journalist and TV presenter Ostap Drozdov suggested that his compatriots who were dissatisfied with the idea of the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Alexei Danilov to switch from Cyrillic to Latin. «Latin is our check and checkmate against the Russian world. <...> will not happen to you. In Montenegro, they did not ask the old Montenegrins if they agree to switch to the Latin alphabet — they switch in a parallel way, «he said on the air of Channel Four.
The expert assessed the possibility of the transition of the Ukrainian language to hieroglyphs He also expressed the opinion that the Cyrillic alphabet indicates that Ukraine is still a pro-Russian state. Earlier this proposal was criticized by the former Foreign Minister of the country Pavel Klimkin, known, among other things, for his aggressive statements. In the State Duma, in turn, they called the idea of switching to the Latin alphabet delusional and pointed out the «wild desire» of Ukrainian officials to become Europe. Senator Oleksiy Pushkov also mocked Danilov's proposal and said that the decision to change the language could finally turn Ukraine into a «colony of Anglo-Saxons.» Danilov himself explained that such a transition would allow Kiev to «communicate in a civilized manner» on the world stage.
