A broadcast journalist became viral on social media after a recording showed his ability to speak in six different languages while delivering news reports from Ukraine. According to the Daily Mail, Philip Crowther uploaded a video montage showing him fluently speaking English, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German in Kyiv.
Crowther, who works as an international correspondent for the Associated Press (AP) news agency, was filmed delivering live news against the backdrop of the Freedom Square building in the Ukrainian capital. The British-German-Luxembourgian journalist reported from Kyiv on the Russia-Ukraine crisis for news broadcast stations around the world.
