Volodymyr Zelenskyy was first a comedian, then a president, and now, due to recent events, one of the most recognizable figures in the world. He has been the figurehead for Ukraine since Russia crossed the border and started the war in 2022.
Things have grown complicated of late, but while Zelenskyy remains in the thick of a war, with an entire country on his shoulders, he has a lot of support — not only from his staff but also from his wife, Olena Zelenska.
The First Lady of Ukraine has not been seen as much as her husband, but despite the war, she has sought to try and give her countrymen and women some semblance of normality. Recently, Olena made a statement about the many children who were abducted from Ukraine and taken to Russia. Sadly, the update is far from positive.
Olena Zelenska and Volodymyr Zelenskyy know each other inside out. Together, they have faced extraordinary times, and the story of how they came to the Ukrainian presidency.
