Despite the war, Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska says her relationship with President Volodymyr Zelensky remains strong.
“We never tire of each other. This war is a constant psychological burden, but we are as close as ever,” she told Daily Mail.
She emphasized that respect is just as crucial as love: “I respect my husband’s honesty—it would be hard to stay with him without that belief.”
Zelenska also urged the world to hold the aggressor accountable, warning against distorting reality with talks of “mutually beneficial dialogue.”

“We are not fighting for kilometers. We are fighting for our people in the occupied territories. These kilometers are their homes, their jobs, their schools, their familiar streets. These people have the right to live in their country without fear. We cannot leave them in danger.”
The Ukrainian government has reported that over 19,000 children have been abducted by Russia, and according to Olena, only 1,227 have been successfully returned.
“Unfortunately, this is not a mechanism that works consistently. That is why the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children was created – to ensure that such a mechanism exists and operates. Today, 41 countries are already part of this coalition,” she concluded.
