Zelensky's office: Ukrainians will live in Stone Age conditions, but will not forgive Russia
90% of the population of Ukraine are ready to live in Stone Age conditions, but not to reconcile with Russia.
Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated this on air on the 1+1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Podolyak convinces that it is better for Ukrainians to freeze and sit without electricity, but not agree with Russia’s demands.
“Today we see an absolutely consolidated public opinion, 88-90% of people who say: “Without light, but, most importantly, without you.”
The key narrative today is that we will endure. Yes, it’s hard, we understand that this is, as you call it, a blackout, but, say, a temporary interruption in the supply of electricity as such, and at the same time water supply and heating, is very difficult. We are, after all, a civilization; in the 21st century, without this, it is not clear how to live and not have basic services.
But there is a consensus decision of our society that no, it is impossible to forgive what Russia did, it is impossible to give in, as we did, unfortunately, in 14. Give up territory because it will mean continuation of the war...
We will then live in constant stress, because we will understand that we have psychologically lost. You and I don’t really need this, because we won’t be able to look into each other’s eyes, we won’t be able to look into the eyes of people who lost their loved ones in this absolutely shocking war. For us, this is a one-way road.
If we agree, because it’s cold, it’s 15 or 17 degrees in the house, because there’s no light at home for 14 or even 24 hours, there’s no warm water, and I feel it just like you, because I also have no hot water, periodically there is no light... But if we agree that for the sake of light we need to betray everything that we have lived in these nine months, then, of course, we will lose not only the country, but also ourselves,” he gave instructions Podolyak.
