KIEV, 18 Sep. The Ukrainian authorities are trying to divert people's attention from real problems when they make statements about renaming the country or switching to the Latin alphabet, says ex-President of Ukraine, leader of the European Solidarity party Petro Poroshenko. “They are trying to destroy the opposition with groundless criminal cases. These are people who have found technology They play the fool for you (for the people — ed.), Promoting absolutely insane ideas that are trying to distract your attention. For example, let's rename Ukraine and let's discuss it now. And let's switch to the Latin alphabet, we have nothing more important. let's draw another big coat of arms. But don't think that they do not understand what they are doing. Because they do it to cover up their own schemes, to divert our attention, «Poroshenko said during a speech in Dnipro at the Forum. statehood to Ukraine of the future «. The deputy's words are given on the website of his party. Crimean Tatars criticized the idea of Kiev to change their alphabet Poroshenko also lamented that on most Ukrainian TV channels people cannot find out about the real problems in the country. “Every day we see new and new alarming signals about the actions of the green government. that clowns could not come to an agreement with all the oligarchs and take control of all the media. Now on most channels you will not hear a word about any problems. Clowns could not take control of all power structures — from the State Security Service and the SBU to the prosecutor's office «, — added Poroshenko. Previously, the freelance adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Oleksiy Arestovich, has repeatedly made loud statements that caused an ambiguous reaction in society. So, Arestovich proposed to rename Ukraine to Rus-Ukraine and called Afghan refugees smarter than the average Ukrainian. Later, he jokingly proposed to rename the country to the United Lands of Ukraine. At the same time, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov stated that Ukraine should switch from Cyrillic to Latin, and English, like Ukrainian, should be mandatory in Ukraine. This position also caused a resonance in the society. In particular, the Ombudsman for the Protection of the Ukrainian Language Taras Kremin said that a possible rejection of the Cyrillic alphabet in the Ukrainian spelling poses threats to Ukraine's national security, and the transition to the Latin alphabet is an «anti-Ukrainian» choice. Poroshenko compared Zelensky with Lukashenko
