Since Russia’s invasion in 2022, he has stood as a symbol of resilience, carrying the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders.

Despite the challenges he faces, he is not alone. Alongside his dedicated staff, he has unwavering support from his wife, Olena Zelenska. Although she has not been in the public eye as frequently as her husband, she has worked tirelessly to provide a sense of normalcy for Ukrainians amid the turmoil. Recently, she addressed the tragic reality of Ukrainian children abducted and taken to Russia, revealing that the situation remains grim.

Olena and Volodymyr Zelenskyy share a deep bond and have endured extraordinary circumstances together. However, when Zelenskyy announced his candidacy for the presidency, Olena was reportedly hesitant about the decision.
