Dorotyuk asked what the actor feels when she hears the Russian language in Kyiv, and how she reacts to Russian -speaking fans.
“I just don’t answer – and that’s it,” Benyuk noted. “We must try to create a language environment around yourself, then you won’t spend extra nerves on anything. The person who does not want to cross, at first it seemed that he cannot, simply deprive him of his work, and I understand that this is correct, and this is not an infringement of the rights, but a dictation of the position of the nation, which is the state nation in Ukraine.”
He added that he hears people who are Russian -speaking in everyday life.
“If you use the Russian language, then you use the Russian invader,” Benyuk emphasized.
Dorotyuk asked how to fight youth, who continues to speak in Ukraine in Russian.
“You take a reserve – and by the ass sharply, so that he will forget forever and centuries that there is a Russian language. And thus give birth to pride in his child,” the actor shared.
