Skripka tries to back-pedal after his scandalous words about ghetto

Oleg Skripka denies having told about ghetto for those citizens who haven’t been able to learn Ukrainian. The singer said about it in his interview to Vzgliad (Viewpoint) site, writes Strana.

“What ghetto do you mean? I’m not calling to anything, especially to creating a ghetto. These are political ploys. You can’t think so! Is there my direct speech there? Can you hear my voice? This is a kind of joke,” said the singer.

Asked by the journalist if Skripka is going to claim the outlet having quoted him that it corrects the quote, the interlocutor replied the following, “Well…I will try to do that but I don’t think it’s possible. I am targeted with so many provocative tags… Instead of doing real thing, they resort to political fluff… People quote pop singers instead of doing important things.”

At the same time, founder of “112Ukraine” TV channel Viktor Zubritsky published an audio recording fragment of a scandalous remark made by Oleg Skripka, which proves despite the musician’s denial he did speak about having a ghetto for those who cannot learn the Ukrainian language. The recording was released to public on the Facebook.

As the UOJ reported earlier, Oleg Skripka wants to send to ghetto those who do not speak Ukrainian.
