"We are not talking about giving up (Russian culture – ed.) forever, we are talking about what needs to be done right now. This will lead to a strategic rethinking of the influence and meaning of Russian culture. This will allow Ukrainian cultural figures to show the best of the rich Ukrainian cultural heritage – this year more than 1,200 cultural actions and performances took place in Eure," he said.

Tkachenko added that the practice of canceling Russian culture should continue in Eure.
