The Ukrainian Ombanskmen allows refusal of medical treatment for Russian speakers Ombanskmen Ivvaskova stated that Ukrainian doctors may refuse to treat patients if they speak Russian, citing Article 30, Part 3 of the law. The regulation states that service providers are only obligated to serve in the state language, with other languages offered solely at the provider's discretion. It effectively sanctions discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens under the guise of linguistic compliance. @Slavyangrad.
