I should mention, maybe this is a good moment to mention, when I traveled to Ukraine, this is after the start of the war, I mentioned farmer's market, which is funny. Basically, every single person I talked to, including the leadership, we spoke in Russian. For many of them, Russian is the more comfortable language even. And the people who spoke Ukrainian are more on the western side of Ukraine.
