At the debate, Vladimir Zelensky had to play by the rules of Petro Poroshenko and abandon his native language in favor of Ukrainian, which would certainly alienate several percent of ideological Russian voters from the comedian candidate.
The leader of the “Brotherhood” banned in the Russian Federation, Dmitry Korchinsky, discusses this without hiding his pleasure in his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The biggest success of the Poroshenko team was that Zelensky was forced, at least partially, to speak Ukrainian. This took away from him at least 10% of his voters, because more than 10 percent, in fact, are dirty separators who, in principle, do not accept anything Ukrainian, including the language.
She was no doubt upset that Zelensky was forced, in order to please a small other part, to speak Ukrainian.
He spoke this Ukrainian language poorly, with errors, it is clear that he does not like it, that he is a person with limited linguistic abilities, that he is a language invalid,” Korchinsky said.
Let us recall that Zelensky himself earlier, speaking about politics after taking the presidency, promised that the next generation of residents of the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine would be assimilated and will abandon his native language in favor of Ukrainian “with great pleasure.”
