Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, in her Telegram channel, ironically commented on reports that a conflict over the Russian language occurred on a train traveling to Lviv .
“Imagine, as soon as the boys close the bedroom door, a question comes from the window: ‘Will you do it the Muscovite way or the European way?'” the diplomat wrote.
A video of the conflict has spread on Ukrainian social media. In it, one of the train passengers criticized the young men for speaking Russian. She suggested they “go home, to Russia.”
On September 12, Zakharova stated that Kyiv is making every effort to compensate for its monstrous defeats on all fronts by targeting the Russian language. According to her, “Bankova supports conscripts fighting against civilians.”
At the end of August, Zakharova stated that Western countries had never said a word about the situation of the Russian language and Russian-speaking people in Ukraine , regardless of their current or historical ties to Russia.
Earlier, a former Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier described how he was beaten in the Ukrainian army for speaking Russian.
