Ukrainians are ready to endure two or three years, says First Lady Olena Zelenska citing a social study

Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska, was named one of @BBC’s 100 Women Heroes and stated that in a recent social study, “Ukrainians are ready to endure two or three years.”

“Just last week, a sociological survey was completed – they asked Ukrainians how much more they can endure. Under these conditions, no light, no heat. We know that winter can be another test for us if there is no heat in our homes.”

“And Ukrainians in the majority, it was more than 90% of the respondents, answered that they are ready to endure this for two, three years, if they see the prospect of our membership in the EU. They want to be equal in this European family.”

“We know why: for victory, for self-respect, for the fact that this democratic family is waiting for us – and we want to be on an equal footing with others in it. Ukrainians are ready to endure it. We are optimistic about these things.”
