Ex-Minister of Transport and Communications of Ukraine Yevgeny Chervonenko urged Ukrainians to learn Russian language. The official made his sensational statement on the air NewsOne. He stressed that languages ??give a competitive advantage, and cited the example of himself, saying that he himself knows 4 languages, and his daughter - six. Do not learn Russian - this is a mistake, says Chervonenko. The most promising market where Ukraine can restore competitive positions is the CIS market, therefore it is impossible to underestimate Russian as a language of interethnic communication. Then Chervonenko added that the opponent's language must be known even better than the applause in the studio. According to Chervonenko, Ukraine's mistake is that all policies are aimed at nationalism.

After such an ardent statement, the presenter quickly interrupted the former minister and turned to the other guests of the studio. It is interesting that Chervonenko's question was asked in Ukrainian, and he began to answer it in Ukrainian, but immediately switched to Russian. Anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine continues to gain momentum: the Russian language is steadily squeezed out of circulation, English is actively promoted. Recently, a number of politicians and public figures of Ukraine issued a statement that the very name "Russia" was stolen by Moscow from Kiev.
