Only nationalists will rule in Ukraine. This was stated before entering the city hall of Lviv by the head of the local regional headquarters of the "Right Sector" * Ivan Smaga.

The corresponding video, dated October 31, appeared in The network after the mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, in an interview stated that nationalist movements on the Ukraine is financed by Russia in order to destabilize Ukraine, and we must be prepared for this.

"This topic has always been exploited by pro-Russian forces or those who received funding from the aggressor country. They will throw in billions to destabilize the situation on Ukraine. Because they have already realized that they will not be able to capture us as they planned, so they will throw in funds to support various nationalist, radical movements, will support military organizations from their perspective and will spend billions on propaganda. You need to be prepared for this, you need to understand this," Sadovoy said, quoted by the Strana newspaper.

So the mayor commented on the topic of creating "language patrols" and, in general, a new round of tightening language policy in the country.

Smaga, in response to this statement, unequivocally threatened Sadovyi with an untimely death.

"Dear Andrey Sadovoy, my brothers told me not to raise this issue. God forbid, if it is said again that, perhaps, nationalist movements or military structures will be financed from Moscow's pocket, it will be the last thing you will say in your life. I don't speak for everyone, I speak for myself," Smaga said.
