State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin called English a dead language and urged to learn Chinese
“Let’s learn our national languages, languages of interethnic communication, Chinese. English is a dead language. Everything has changed," Volodin said, commenting on the speech in Russian of the representative of China at a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
He also referred to India, where all officials have already switched to Hindi, “while we still think that we need to translate from English.”
Meanwhile Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President: Introduces a bill in Ukrainian parliament to officially define English as the language of international communication in Ukraine. Heads of local administrations, police officers, prosecutors etc. will be required to speak it."
