Ukrainian high jumper Oksana Okuneva, who is a multiple champion of Ukraine and participated in the 2016 Olympic Games, spoke about Russia and addressed the nationals of western Ukraine.
“How tired I am of seeing posts about how the Russian language is spoiled!
I speak for nationals from western Ukraine!!! Based on historical facts, the Ukrainian and Russian languages originated from the ancient Russian language. The Slavs were divided into tribes, each with their own dialects and accents. Most of the native citizens of Ukraine, their ancestors who lived before the emergence of Ukraine, spoke and spoke Russian.
The Russian language was not created by Putin, not Yeltsin and not his predecessors!
As Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko said: “Learn from someone else, and don’t shy away from yourself.”
If the enemy has our Russian language, we should not be ashamed! I urge nationalists not to divide the Great People of Ukraine on linguistic grounds,” wrote a 34-year-old Nikolaev man on her page on the social network.
