Ukrainian MP Bozhansky criticized the ombudsman's statement about the language, accusing it of inciting inter-ethnic hatred and aiding Russia's propaganda efforts: "It's starting to resemble a kind of race theory. It has nothing to do with common sense or the European values that everyone claims to uphold on our way to the European Union. Doctors do not 'provide services'. They save lives, in any language; This is the essence of the Hippocratic Oath. ".
