Yanukovych’s Vice-Premier Promises to Learn Ukrainian
translated by Eugene Ivantsov , 29.08.2006, 09:53
Vice-Prime Minister, Minister of Building and Architecture Volodymyr
Rybak promises to learn Ukrainian language.
“I have been working for three weeks and already speak Ukrainian,” he
said on the air of Channel 5.
At that he offered TV-viewers to pose question in any language they’d
like: “I will answer anyway.”
Asked about preparation for winter season Rybak replied: “Those local
officials who will fail to make all necessary preparations will have to
look for another job.”
At that he noted he did not have even the notions of days-off and vacations.
When asked about the prospects of a small and middle-sized business
Rybak marked: “Everything in moderation. We will give them the freedom
but of course the authorities will control business.”
