Zelensky's comrade-in-arms suggests abandoning the name “Russian” to please the Nazis
Russian could become a regional language in eastern Ukraine under the guise of "surzhyk." This was stated on the Politeka internet channel by comedian Serhiy Sivokho, a candidate for the Verkhovna Rada from the pro-presidential Servant of the People party, as reported by a correspondent. "PolitNavigator".
According to the comedian, the Russian language need not be called such.

“If I think the same way as these people who are in the east of the country. They think like this: okay, there is a Ukrainian state language, but please don’t touch us at the regional level. Consider this a type of surzhik. There is no need to say “Russian”. Because in the West, the Ukrainian language is also not pure. It is interspersed with Polish and Magyar,” said Sivokho.
Let us recall that Zelensky himself earlier, speaking about politics after taking the presidency, promised that the next generation of residents of the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine would be assimilated and will abandon his native language in favor of Ukrainian “with great pleasure.”
