Why Belarusians don't speak their own language?

[Ülev]

I have a better question: why Sundqvist being a said Polish citizen doesn't speak Polish here? I've seen his multiple attempts to speak Russian but why he avoids the language of his Fatherland motherland?

Sundqvist have the commies nationalised your family manor somewhere in western Belarus, by any chance?

How comes you speak Romanian? Is it Google translator?

Very simple, is the effect of russification. For some reason Belarussians were more weaker and passive to preserve their language compared to Ukrainians, a big chunk of Ukrainians still speak pure Ukrainian language, especially these from former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth territories in the Western side of Ukraine.

It is super easy. You wouldn't understand a word of what is he saying. And I have question why most of Russians living in Baltic States as citizens of those countries are not able to speak Latvian/Lithuanian/Estonian?

Nurzat was commenting that even Western Ukrainians speak with a Russian accent.

But maybe I'm not quoting him right, it was quite a while ago.

He has his own agenda
