It should be noted that the mayor must pay 3.4 thousand hryvnia (almost 93 dollars).
The office of the commissioner for the protection of the state language in Ukraine noted that Terekhov, as an official, violated the law “On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language.”
In November 2022, Terekhov was already fined the same amount for a similar offense.
In May 2019, the then President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed a law obliging the country’s citizens to use the Ukrainian language in all spheres of public life.
