Ombudsman Ivanovska demands OSMD chats be conducted in Ukrainian

Ukraine’s language ombudsman Olena Ivanovska has demanded that chats of co-owner associations of apartment buildings be conducted exclusively in the state language. The initiative drew criticism from Verkhovna Rada member of parliament Kucherenko.

According to Ivanovska’s position, correspondence in OSMD chats must switch entirely to Ukrainian. Deputy Kucherenko publicly criticized the ombudsman’s demand.
