This does not work at all as a metaphor. Nobody in Sweden has Russian as their mother tongue, whereas in Ukraine, it is a very large part of the population.

And I am not complaining about it - it is the business of the Ukrainians what language they want to have notices and street signs in - not my business.

ALL I am saying, my dear "Eric" is that it was unexpected and inconvenient for ME.

I adored Kiev - it was really special and I want to explore the city more some time in the future. I am really jealous of my colleague who is visiting for the football game in this summer.

I'll tell you what, "Hanna" - nothing stops you from going there for the soccer champ as well and stopping being jealous.
