I have been watching Ostrovsky’s dispatches and was wondering what language he is speaking. Is It Russian and Ukrainian or both?

I just watched the first Roulette episode, where he speaks a few sentences to a Russian soldier (who doesn’t respond). Ostrovsky’s speech is that of educated native Russian speaker. If you point me to an episode where he is talking to someone Ukrainian I will listen. As a matter of fact, excepting Ukrainian West, the Russian language is understood broadly, but of course if the speaker is ethnically Ukrainian he would prefer Ukrainian, but still manage in Russian if he has to.

Watched #29. Only Russian from all sides, but of course he is only talking to putinists and the region is Russian-speaking.
