The Kolishnaya national team of the national team of Ukraine Artem Milevsky again found himself in the center of the language scandal. In his video in Tiktok, he told why he still does not speak Ukrainian.
“Why don't you talk state? Because I did not have time to teach the state, I said that I was an Iranian from Minsk, ”he said.
“To condemn what language I speak, no sense at all. And then I try to talk, though I had neither school nor education, there was nothing. We were nuggets. We did not have time, we had 5 workouts a day. What is the language, what is the state language. What are you talking about? This is not that I do not respect it, we did not have time to study it, ”he emphasized.
