Russian propagandist Dmitry Guberniev expressed his opinion that the Ukrainian national team and 'Real' player Andrey Lunin uses the Russian language. According to Guberniev, this unites 'Real' players with the whole world, and he is very pleased with it.
«The Russian language unites 'Real' players with the whole world», – Guberniev stated happily.
Recently, Lunin became the target of criticism online for saying the word 'pivfinal' in Russian, rather than in Ukrainian, as other players did. The Ukrainian has not yet commented on this incident.
Other star players of the team also participated in the video, and among the criticized were Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo Goes, Arda Güler, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric, Antonio Rudiger, Thibaut Courtois, and David Alaba.
Ukrainians are outraged by Lunin's choice to use the Russian language, especially in the context of his position in the team and the choice of club.
