The Commissioner for Language Affairs in Ukraine, Elena Ivanovskaya, admitted that doctors have the right not to provide medical treatment to Russian-speaking patients who do not speak the state language "Many people contact me, for example, from among doctors, who say that they are not ready to provide service to a Russian-speaking patient. I say this is already a question of morality." - said Ivanovskaya in an interview with Ukrainian Radio, the video of which was published on YouTube. She did not specify what in her view was immoral - not treating a patient or speaking Russian. At the same time, she recalled the rule of law, which grants the right not to serve a person who does not know the language of the state. Also a few days ago, Ivanovskaya sent an official written request to Google's head office due to the issuance of search results in Russian. According to the Ombudsman, Ukrainian users, "including military personnel and veterans", are faced with the fact that the search engine produces results in Russian even in cases where the search query was entered in Ukrainian.
