TV scandal: presidential candidates don’t know the words to the Ukrainian anthem
On the air of the Majlis channel “ATR”, two candidates for the presidency of Ukraine were unable to remember the words of the Ukrainian anthem, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What words does the second verse of the Ukrainian anthem begin with?” – asked moderator Roman Skrypin during the debate.
"Second? I never sing first either. Ukraine has not died yet,” admitted presidential candidate, Kiev millionaire and leader of the “5.10” party Gennady Balashov.
“De Dnipro zradie...Sche...Okay,” his rival, the ex-head of the Maidan group “Spilna on the Right” Alexander Danilyuk, tried to remember.
“In reality, it has one verse and one chorus, in accordance with the law,” the presenter shamed the candidates.
“Oh, there’s one in the official anthem, yes,” Danilyuk realized.
“A brilliant question,” retorted Balashov.
