There is a language scandal in Odesa: at a business event, the speaker refused to switch to Ukrainian

At a business event, several participants began to interrupt the speaker, who spoke in Russian, and demand that he switch to Ukrainian. He refused, and the event participants supported his position with applause.

Then, after some arguing, the participants who demanded to switch to the Ukrainian language were escorted out of the hall.
