Poroshenko warns of threat to Ukraine as President Zelensky speaks in Russian
Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that language is a factor in national security, and when Head of State Vladimir Zelensky speaks Russian, the country is in danger.
Earlier, the incumbent President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, in his speech in Kramatorsk and Donetsk, switched to Russian to prove that no one cares about that in Donbass.

“As long as in Ukraine both the President and the Prime Minister communicate in Russian, they will be of interest to Russia. Language is an element of national security,” former Ukrainian President Poroshenko said on the “Pryamoy” TV channel.
Meanwhile, data from a survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows that 70% of Ukrainians have a positive perception of President Vladimir Zelensky as a politician, on par with the negative rating of his predecessor Petro Poroshenko.
