Andrii Meleshkov, who was born and raised in Eastern Ukraine and has a
Russian mother, said he was at Signature karaoke bar in Sheepshead Bay
celebrating a friend’s birthday last Monday when Oleg Sulyma, 31, sat
down at his table and started hurling “profanities” at him and his buddies.
“You look Russian,” Sulyma, who is Ukrainian, sneered, according to
prosecutors.
Meleshkov, a 36-year-old truck driver who left the Eastern Europe locale
and moved to Brooklyn in 2015, insisted that he was Ukrainian but Sulyma
didn’t believe him.
“We switched to Ukrainian in order to calm him down but it was getting
him more and more agitated and he started asking us to translate words
to prove that we’re Ukrainian,” Meleshkov told The Post.
Sulyma demanded Meleshkov and his friends say the word “Palianytsia” — a
type of Ukrainian domed bread — that native Russian speakers have
difficulty pronouncing because of its combination of vowels and
consonants, according to prosecutors and Meleshkov.
“If you get it wrong, I’ll have my way with you,” warned Sulyma,
according to prosecutors.
