I get in trouble for speaking Russian as a Ukrainian, what should I do?
For context I’m half Russian and half Ukrainian, and I speak Russian mainly, that’s just how I grew up. My Ukranian dad even speaks majority Russian bc that’s just what we all speak at home. I know Ukranian for the most part, and understand it but just can’t fully speak it yet, I would love to and try sometimes.
Anyways I’m here helping my friend out who’s Ukrainian btw and we’re going to these people to help them move and he tells me don’t speak Russian bc you might offend them and he didn’t want that to affect the job. That just really upset me bc I come to help for free btw, have good intentions, etc. and what ended up happening is I just speak English and my friend translated it to Ukrainian, which just made me very sad. They could totally understand Russian and I could understand Ukrainian, but no we have to follow some stupid social rule bc speaking Russian is deemed evil.
I’ve had multiple situations like this and it pisses me off, bc you speak Russian that means your some evil person, and if you try to speak Ukranian you’ll be made fun of bc it’s not perfect and they “can tell your not Ukrainian”
What should I do regarding these situations when I get into them? I obviously am pro Ukraine, I am Ukrainian myself just as much as I am Russian. I’ve even been to Ukraine before but have never been to Russia. This is just not fair to me.
