“We have been going on since 2014. I did not understand this when the war was in Donetsk, Lugansk – those areas. Now I understand it perfectly. Then everyone spoke in Russian. Someone in Ukrainian. To whom it was convenient. Now these pseudopatriots are sophisticated and telling who a language should speak. These pseudopatriots as dogs escaped, then returned here and allegedly show that they speak Ukrainian. I speak the way I see fit. I always spoke in Russian. I’m indifferent.
At the front, the guys speak Ukrainian. Someone in Ukrainian, someone – Russian. You do not win the war because you speak Ukrainian. Our task is to win and remove this evil from our country. And who speaks in what language – I do not care. I said, so I will. I don’t care what they will say. If I want, pure for people, to like them, to speak Ukrainian – for the sake of God.
We can say that I can’t speak Ukrainian. I am ashamed, I can say the wrong words. Only because of that. I have been living in Ukraine for 25 years, from 15 years. I understand Ukrainian, but I don’t talk. ”
Earlier, Alexander Aliyev spoke about a difficult relationship with his parents.
