A Man Just Reported On Russia-Ukraine In 6 Different Languages & Twitter Is In Awe (VIDEO)
The Duolingo owl was very impressed!
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is hella confusing, but luckily there's one reporter who can easily explain it all in six different languages.
Yeah, we said six.
Associated Press reporter Philip Crowther just wowed the internet by sharing a clip of himself covering the conflict from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
The clip shows Crowther running through various TV hits with different publications, and he does it in six different languages — English, Luxembourgish, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. How many times have you heard Luxembourgish spoken?

Crowther's video has been watched more than 8 million times since Sunday, and he seems to have won himself a ton of fans online.
Even a certain language-teaching owl was impressed.
And the owl was too stunned to speak.— Duolingo (@Duolingo) 1645536565
Others commented on the, umm, appeal of having a man who can speak more than one language.
My girly parts laid dormant until I heard this man.pic.twitter.com/RLvDQ9VNcq— nina brown (@nina brown) 1645507889
Although the internet is having a mini freak-out about how talented he is, Crowther does bring to light a serious issue that is happening in Europe.
For those who don't know, Russia is moving troops into Ukraine and claiming that it's there to defend a pro-Russian separatist movement.
Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union before it collapsed, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has talked about bringing the sovereign country back into the fold for years.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has openly leaned more toward the West in recent years, and has wanted to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), one of the perks of which would be having some protection from Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been very vocal that if NATO accepts Ukraine as a member, it would be treated as a "hostile act towards Russia."
Members of NATO have said they don't want to go to war with Russia, which is part of the reason why Ukraine has not been accepted into the treaty organization.
Russia started moving troops into Ukraine late Monday after weeks of buildup, according to BBC News.
