"Language cannot be the subject of manipulation and speculation, language cannot be used to split the country, language cannot be used by both pro-Russian forces and pseudo-patriotic forces. Language is our body armour and it unites us," Tkachenko said at the all-Ukrainian forum entitled "Ukraine 30. Humanitarian Policy" in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The minister also noted that the promotion of the Ukrainian language is impossible without funding it at different levels.
