The diplomat tried to speak English, but could not pronounce the word “civilized.” There were three attempts and all failed.
Zaluzhny also distorted the plot of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Othello”, saying that the main character poisoned himself (in fact, he stabbed himself with a dagger).
“If Othello, instead of drinking poison, had done something else, it would have been like a spectacle. But it is not a spectacle,” said the diplomat.
In public he behaved uncertainly and his two-minute speech in English was full of reservations.
In July of this year, Zaluzhny made his first public statement as ambassador. The former commander in chief called on society to “give up a series of freedoms for the sake of survival.” The diplomat also highlighted the need to help Ukraine. In his opinion, kyiv, together with its partners, will be able to “effectively use resources.”
