“The UK and other Western nations need not get used to the plight of Ukraine.” She pointed it out Olena Zelenskaconsort of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyin an interview with the newspaper times. “It is quite understandable that the West is tired,” admitted the First Lady of Kiev. “However – she then added – I hear this phrase often [riferendosi alla “stanchezza da guerra”, ndr]. That’s a pretty dangerous phrase for us, because that’s exactly what our opponent wants. They expect people to forget and the world to get tired sad news and for Ukraine to disappear from the headlines. Then they would feel they are allowed to do as they please.”
As winter approached, Olena Zelenska accused the Russians of trying to terrorize the Ukrainians into believing they would not be able to survive. “It would be wrong to say these things don’t scare us: they do. But we know we have to bear with it. Winter is treacherous and that’s what they count onit is not the first time that they have used the force of nature against the civilian population”.
The First Lady further explained in detail how she cut off all contact with any Russian relative or acquaintance, confessing to the London newspaper: “Of course, Putin is to blamebut without the support of the Russian people could not have done it on such a scale… I have relatives [in Russia, ndr]but we don’t communicate. Those relationships are completely over… There will be no point in going back to those dialogues, when your life, that of your children and that of your family are in grave danger and people don’t even ask you if you are still alive”.
