Forward “Benfica” and the national team of Ukraine Roman Yaremchuk spoke about the language issue in Ukraine.
The football player is sure that children in Ukraine should learn only the Ukrainian language.
“I believe that in Ukraine there should be only one language – Ukrainian. Our children should learn only the Ukrainian language.”
But if you want to talk to someone in Russian, please. This is your choice. In Ukraine, no one is infringed on for the Russian language. I have many friends from Dynamo and Shakhtar who speak Russian. This is fine.
I speak Ukrainian with my child. And the wife, who is from Chernigov, is a surzhik. My wife tries to speak Ukrainian with me, she speaks Russian with her parents.
There is more Portuguese in my son’s kindergarten. I wish there was more English,” Yaremchuk said in an interview with Denisov Time .
Recall that Dynamo midfielder Mykola Shaparenko spoke about the difficult situation in the Donetsk region, where his parents lost their homes due to Russian military operations.
