KHARKIV – Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has spoken again for the need to improve the law on the principles of the state language policy.

“I do not agree that this law has weakened the Ukrainian language. I
think that the shortcomings that have been present in state policy will
be settled by this law to some extent. But I’m not sure that the law is
perfect and will work as it is,” Yanukovych said at a briefing in Kyiv.
