People's Artist of Ukraine Les Zadneprovsky harshly criticized Russian-speaking Ukrainians. The actor spoke about the language issue, which arose acutely in the country with the outbreak of a full-scale war. The artist in an interview with Oboz. ua admitted that he is very surprised that there are still Ukrainians who communicate in Russian. Zadneprovsky is even more outraged when parents teach their children to speak this language instead of Ukrainian. The actor is convinced that after almost three years of a full-scale war, when every day the Russian Federation shells cities and towns of Ukraine, killing innocent people, people should have abandoned everything Russian. " After all the tragedies that have happened to us over the years, the rose-colored glasses should have fallen from the faces of absolutely all Ukrainians. For whom are people who speak Russian with their children preparing this generation We were attacked by war! Ukraine has broken all relations with the aggressor country and never wants to return them. There are no cities, they are crushed, people died. And if someone tries to talk to me about the brotherhood of peoples, I’ll just spit in my eyes,” the actor was indignant.

Les Zadneprovsky believes that even after Ukraine’s victory in the war with Russia, it is still necessary to fence off everything Russian. The actor believes that for more than a hundred years there can be no talk of restoring any relations with the aggressor country, so that the enemy would not have any thought of attacking. “I believe that even after the end of the war, after the declaration of peace as a result, God willing, of our victory, we still need to fence ourselves off from that ghetto, like from lepers. I think that for the next hundred years we must do everything, as a nation and a state that values \u200b\u200band respects itself, to burn out even thoughts in the minds of our enemy that we can attack again. I really believe that the Russian empire will collapse. For more than 100 years, as for me, there can be no talk of any kind of friendly relations between our states,” the actor said. Let us remind you that recently the group 5'Nizza got into a scandal because of the Russian language. Band members Andrey Zaporozhets and Sergey Babkin invited fans to their concerts abroad. However, for some reason the artists decided to do it in Russian.
