Roksana Malinovska, the wife of footballer Ruslan Malinovskyi, spoke about a conflict with drunken Russians on the beach in Italy over the Ukrainian language.
'Bad evening. Ruslan, our daughter, and I were at the beach when a couple of Russians started to pick on us upon hearing the Ukrainian language. They said: 'You are here in Italy thanks to us, Russians.' These two drunks were spouting nonsense... Especially the woman.'
'You speak your disgusting Ukrainian language!'
Reporting the incident, Roksana also reminded about Ruslan Malinovskyi's sports achievements and other events from the sports world that have become relevant despite the troubles with the drunken Russians.
At the same time, one of the Russian sports teams, the volleyball club 'Belogorie', had to move training to Tula due to shelling in the city, showing that the security situation affects sports movement in Russia.
The described events testify that even in the sports environment, the influence of the political situation and international conflicts is felt. They emphasize the importance of tolerance and respect for other cultures and languages to avoid conflicts and troubles.
