Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has proposed the establishment of two working languages ​​in Ukraine: alongside Ukrainian, the second "should rightly be English."The perhaps not-so-surprising proposal was made at celebrations marking the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy's 400th anniversary, Ukrainian news agency UNIAN reported."Mohyla pioneered two working languages ​​- Ukrainian and English," Poroshenko said. "I think it would be very good if in Ukraine, and not just at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, there appeared a second working language.As of October 1, knowledge of English became a prerequisite for employment in the administration of the president of Ukraine.In his annual address to the Verkhovna Rada, Poroshenko also promised to announce 2016 as a year of learning English.
