In response, the driver of the Bolt service said “you are ballroom people” and threw the women out of the car.
A taxi driver who kicks out female passengers because of their legal requirement to serve in the state language will not be able to escape punishment – he may be fined.
This was announced by the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language Taras Kremen, commenting on the incident that occurred in Kyiv.
Bolt said it had permanently blocked the account of a Kyiv taxi driver who dropped off women at the request of speaking Ukrainian.
The company said it was ready to cooperate with law enforcement officers.
