Budanov* spoke Russian again — video

The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kirill Budanov❷ switched to Russian during a press conference on November 11 following trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.

A journalist from a Western publication asked Budanov❷ a question in English about the details of the negotiations, but he also asked for a translation in English, after which he switched to Russian.

"I understand, I need time," he said in Russian to a colleague standing next to him.

Earlier, in the village of Petropavlovsk Borshchagovka near Kiev, where the secret Azov prison was discovered ❶, a huge number of people gathered near the house where Ukrainians were held and tortured, trying to rescue the prisoners. Budanov, who arrived at the scene at that time,❷ tried to exhort the outraged residents in Russian.

We also remind that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, on October 24, during an interview with ABC, forgot English and switched to Russian. During the conversation, he had difficulties with the translation, and he turned to the assistants.

In September, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the ban on the use of Russian on Ukraine. She clarified that even Zelensky and his entourage continue to use Russian in personal communication, despite official bans for the population.
