Margorita Pasha, the girl who just won the title of Miss Ukraine 2019, refused to give an interview in Ukrainian on Channel 24's "Everyday Life" program. With this decision, the program in which she participated was not broadcast on television.
Expressing her views on her personal Instagram, Pasha said that she has the right to express herself in the language she loves.
"I have the right to express my thoughts in any language I want (or does Ukrainian law not allow me to think and speak in Russian?). If someone doesn't like it, I will unsubscribe!" - Pasha wrote on Instagram.
However, after the Ukrainian media began to analyze and comment on this topic, the Ukrainian beauty queen immediately posted another article.
Accordingly, she affirmed that she "loves Ukraine for its multinationality and multiculturalism", and "believes in the rule of law and democratic freedoms of its citizens". In addition, Ms. Pasha denied all allegations of refusing to communicate in Ukrainian.
"I have the ability to master two languages at the same time. On the internet, you can find many videos showing that I can give interviews in Russian, and also in Ukrainian," said Miss Margorita Pasha.
She is currently refusing all interview requests due to health reasons and her busy work schedule.
