“Obviously, (this initiative.— “b”) has a historical basis… Obviously, here it is necessary to consult with experts, I like this idea, but the experts should have their say, ”the minister said on the air of the all-Ukrainian telethon (quoted by RIA Novosti).
Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to study a petition to rename Russia to Muscovy (“Rosiya” to “Moskoviya”).

The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the initiative.
