An Odesa police officer responded to Ukrainians abroad who criticized her for speaking Russian

A police officer from Odesa expressed outrage on Instagram over being asked ‘why not in the state language’ regarding her page.

According to her, such questions are mostly asked by “pseudo-men” who have gone abroad.

“You, complete idiots, went abroad and walk around in embroidered shirts. For me, it’s total cringe – walking in an embroidered shirt in some country and writing to Ukrainians who are staying at home, where missiles are flying, who work in military and police services, help, and donate – writing to these people ‘why not in the state language’?! Are you out of your mind?! Such people should have their mouths shut and never be allowed back into Ukraine. If I saw one – I’d beat them on the spot,” she said.

Previously, media reported how a woman in a beach café in Odesa, who identified herself as being from Kyiv, caused a language scandal and demanded to be served in Ukrainian.

Before that, in Zatoka, a woman was kicked out of a café after demanding to be served in Ukrainian.
