The president later said Ukraine
may have to hold an early parliamentary election if the crisis in the
chamber persisted.
Parliament’s website said that Mykola Tomenko, a deputy speaker, had also
stepped down. Tomenko belongs to jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko’s
BYuT parliamentary faction.
The bill, which will not become law until first Mr Lytvyn and then Mr
Yanukovich have signed it, would recognise Russian as a “regional”
language in predominantly Russian-speaking ares, enabling its use in the
public service.
Opponents of the bill say it was pushed through by Mr Yanukovich’s party in
order to win back disenchanted voters in its Russian-speaking power base
ahead of a parliamentary election in October.
But opposition parties and millions who speak Ukrainian as their first
language see the bill as a potential threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and its
20 years of independence since the break-up of the Soviet Union.
“This bill would push the Ukrainian language out of use,” said one
of the protesters, 40-year-old entrepreneur Yuri Chernyak. “It might be
too late but we must do something and not stay indifferent.”
More protests were planned across the country, opposition party Batkivshchyna
said, and many protesters stayed out on the streets of central Kiev
overnight.
People in large swathes of Ukraine, notably the eastern industrial heartland,
speak Russian as their mother tongue.
