Serhii Zhadan about the scandal

Zhadan, who is currently serving in the defense of Ukraine, emphasized in his video message that Solova's obscene language was not particularly harsh or offensive. He called on Ukrainians not to succumb to these provocations and not to look for enemies among their own people.

"Ukrainians were outraged not by profanity, but by what it was aimed at. Obviously, this is about the issue of decommunization. And as for expressiveness, if Les Podervyanskyi was here, he would be surprised, what do you think, as if Ukrainians started use swearing only during war, " Zhadan said.
