The athlete reacted to another absurd bill of the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk reacted to the introduction of a bill in the Russian State Duma on the recognition of “compatriots” of those who speak Russian.
Kostyuk posted a story on Instagram, suggesting that Ukrainians abandon the use of the Russian language:
“We study and move to our native Ukrainian, so as not to suddenly become a” compatriot “.
We will remind, the bill was brought in the State Duma of the Russian Federation on March 28 . This document actually gives the Russian authorities pseudo-legal arguments for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
The document states that “compatriots” are all people and their descendants who live in other countries and speak Russian.

The explanatory note to the bill says that proficiency in the Russian language is “a necessary condition for compliance with the constitutional requirement for the state to ensure the all-Russian cultural identity of compatriots living abroad.”
