The translator of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky did not answer the question of a Turkish journalist at the joint press conference he held after the meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Istanbul. published the video Youtube channel Collector News.
It was noted that a journalist from a Turkish television channel started asking questions to the Ukrainian president, but the translator could not clearly translate the question into Ukrainian. He was just speaking incoherent phrases and making unintelligible sounds.
At first, Zelensky tried to pretend that he was taking notes, but then he began to signal to his team that he did not understand the translation. However, Zelensky then turned to the journalist in English and asked the journalist to repeat the question, stating that “the translation is very difficult.”
Before that, Russian President Vladimir Putin was at a meeting with foreign students participating in the World Youth Festival (WYF). saidthat online translations cannot replace the value of knowledge of foreign languages.
