Thank you Mr. Orlov, excelent take on the situation in Ukraine and Israel. I would like to comment on Western Ukrainian language, I don't speak it myself but my family came from Lvov region, when Batyushka Stalin resettled them in Poland. Grandma was Ukrainian, name Biała/Билый, granddad Polish, the language they spoke, was some kind of old Slavonic/old Polish spoken with Russian accent.
When I was crying, Grandma asked:" Що тэбэ дэтынцю?" In Polish you would say "Co tobie dziecko?"
My first language was Russian, in a "displaced persons" family of Russian and Ukrainian parentage. It was the language spoken at home. I heard "Ukrainian" spoken by other people in that group but to my ear it was hillbilly Russian or Pidgin Russian. I could understand it however. The version spoken now by the likes of Zelensky or news readers from Kiev is incomprehensible.
Alex Romanoff, perhaps you should learn Polish, it will help to understand Ukrainian. I was learning Russian for more than 12 years, I have read Chechov's short stories and newspapers in Russian, I have never conversed in Russian, it is hard to understand people like Żeleński, because Ukrainian is not their native language.
