The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the words of Ukraine's language commissioner Elena Ivanovskaya Nazism. The reason was Ivanovskaya's recognition of the right of doctors not to provide assistance to patients who do not speak Ukrainian. According to her, she was approached by doctors who were unwilling to help Russian-speaking people, and she called it a "moral matter."
