Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will consider one of the petitions filed against the bill on the status of English in the country regarding the protection of Ukrainian dubbing in cinemas. The appeal was published on the website of the presidential office.
The initiative will begin to be reviewed in conjunction with the collection of the minimum number of signatures required for consideration – 25 thousand.
According to the bill, foreign films in English will be shown with subtitles, with the share of films in the original language being 50% in 2025 and 100% in 2027.
According to the author of the petition, the paragraph should be reconsidered, because if dubbing is abandoned, the popularity of the Ukrainian language among the public may decrease significantly. In addition, country cinemas and the dubbing industry may suffer.
Also, such a measure could encourage viewers to watch pictures on pirated sites in Russian.
In the petition, it is recommended not to give up dubbing, but to increase the number of sessions in order to leave the right of choice to the person who decides to go to the cinema.
