After serving as president and a comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now among the most well-known people in the world as a result of recent events. Since Russia crossed the border and declared war on Ukraine in 2022, he has served as its leader.
Even though Zelenskyy is still in the middle of a war and has a whole nation on his shoulders, he has a lot of support from both his staff and his wife, Olena Zelenska, despite the fact that things have recently become more problematic.
Although she is not as well-known as her husband, the First Lady of Ukraine has made an effort to restore some sort of normalcy to her countrymen and women in spite of the conflict. Olena recently spoke out about the large number of children who were kidnapped from Ukraine and sent to Russia. Unfortunately, the news is not good at all.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Olena Zelenska are intimately acquainted. The tale of how they became president of Ukraine and the incredible events they have faced together. However, it is believed that Olena was not pleased when her husband declared his intention to run for president.
Born on February 5, 1978, in Kryvyi Rih, a city in central Ukraine around 260 miles south of Kyiv, Olena Zelenska (maiden name Kiyashko) was born. Zelenskyy and Zelenska were born a week apart and grew up in the same city.
But they didn’t actually meet until they were both enrolled at Kryvyi Rih National University. “I can’t recall the exact moment Vladimir and I locked eyes. At school, everyone knew him. He was usually a cheerful companion. Olena remembered, “Zelenskyy was there if it was noisy somewhere.”
Soon after meeting at university, Olena and Volodymyr began dating. In addition to studying law, Volodymyr wanted to become a comedian. From Volodymyr’s perspective, it wasn’t really love at first sight when they first met.
The president claimed in an interview with Lifestyle that he was proud of how easy it was for him to approach girls. But with Olena, it was the complete reverse. He kept trying to win her approval after she initially refused to let him in.
Olena continues to carry out her responsibilities as first lady despite the ongoing war. Even though she has been a strong advocate for encouraging more women to launch enterprises in Ukraine, the situation’s reality cannot be ignored.
Olena discussed the significance of the world remembering who initiated the war and the necessity of supporting Ukraine during her appearance on the Italian political and news discussion show Quarta Repubblica.
“Talks about some supposedly mutually beneficial communication with the aggressor start instead of halting him and making sure he can never hurt anyone again. This is a blurring of morality and a misunderstanding of reality. And everyone is in a really risky situation,” she stated. “Kilogrammes is not where we are battling. In the occupied territories, we are defending our people.
Their houses, workplaces, schools, and well-known streets are all located within these kilometres. These people are entitled to live fearlessly in their nation. We can’t abandon them to peril.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, numerous civilians have been slain. The Ukrainian government claims that over 19,000 children have been kidnapped and transported to Russia. Only 1,227 children have been returned, according to Olena Zelenska, who recently revealed that Russia is impeding the process in a number of ways. Unfortunately, this mechanism does not function reliably.
To guarantee that such a mechanism exists and functions, the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children was established. As of right now, 41 nations have joined this coalition,” she said.
