Not a Ukrainian but I know a good few. The language is taught at schools so you if you’re not educated in the Soviet Union you will know it. Whether you choose to use it is a different matter. And data would suggest that the usage is on the

As a Pole I have a similar reaction to Czech and Slovak. Except it feels less like a strange accent (because we don’t have these as much) and more like baby talk. We get the words, just how they’re used feels unusual, and often funny. From

Ironically, IBM is behind the Vault fork (OpenBao). Way to negotiate!

I’m failing to identify the benefit for the buyer here. What’s your reasoning?
