One of the trump cards of Kremlin propaganda is the millions of Russian speakers in Ukraine. Any Russian speaker, even here in the U.S., is a potential victim of Russian propaganda, because their TV shows and films are often the highest quality media product in the Russian language. How can Ukraine solve this problem? What do you think about making the second language of Ukrainians not Russian but English?That's a very good idea.
And in general, I don't think that the Russian language is the property of Putin. It's like [the] German language was not [the] property of Hitler. The problem is not in the language itself. The problem is in the Russian state. Because Russia is still an empire. And before Russia will be de-imperialized, they will keep using any ground[s], like language.
So, the situation is very difficult. It is a humanitarian catastrophe, which is caused by what Russia is doing. And that's why I think we should say that Russia is a state terrorist, and that is why I think we should name it how it is.
