Russian should become extinct in Ukraine – top official
October 21, 2022
The language is part of Moscow’s propaganda, security chief Alexey Danilov claims
The Russian language should be eradicated in Ukraine as it is allegedly being used as a tool by Moscow to wield influence on Ukrainians, one of the country’s key security officials has claimed.
The Russian language is nothing but an “element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing of our people,” Alexey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said on the ‘Big Lviv Talks’ show on Friday.
The official also spoke in favor of Ukrainians learning English instead.
According to Danilov, the very idea that Ukrainians have to understand the Russian tongue is a “dangerous narrative.”
“Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated.
