It is necessary in the name of historical justice, to implement de-Russification, the National Bank emphasized.
The National Bank of Ukraine initiates a change in the name of small change coins from “kopeck” to “step”. The NBU press service reported this on Monday, September 2.
This is necessary in the name of historical justice, for the purpose of de-Russification and for the sake of the revival of national traditions.
“Having studied the history of money circulation in Ukraine, we came to the irrefutable conclusion that the name for a small change coin, such as “kopeck,” is in fact a symbol of the conquest of Moscow,” said of the statement.
“Now that the Ukrainian people are returning to themselves everything that was unjustly stolen from them and cut off by the Kremlin’s narratives, the time has come to restore justice to the financial system, to clean the financial sovereignty of the smallest kinship with anything we have our own, original Ukrainian word for small coins, this is the word “step,” emphasizes the head of the NBU Andrey Pyshny.
We remind you that in July, Ukrainians bought a record amount of currency in almost 12 years – $2.775 billion. Net foreign currency purchases totaled $1.117 billion.
