Europe Desk, Delhi Magazine: The first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, gave an interview to the German newspaper Die Zeit , in which she urged the Europeans not to treat the war in Ukraine as something far away, since what is happening on our soil today is a crime against humanity.
“You can’t get used to this crime, it must be prevented by peaceful demonstrations, news in newspapers, on radio and television. Please. This is a crime against everything human,” Zelenskaya said.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s wife also said that her family is being persecuted, trying to put pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky, which is why everything that happens reminds her of a shoddy militant.
“ The fact that my family and I are now being persecuted looks like a low-grade militant. But then I remember what was done by the occupiers, how many defenseless children were killed, entire families were killed, unarmed Ukrainians were shot. The Russians want to put pressure on my husband, threatening him family. This is a realistic plan, so we have very strong security,” said the first lady of Ukraine.
A Die Zeit journalist, in a conversation with Zelenska, noted that, unlike the president’s family, other people do not have the opportunity to be under personal protection, to which the first lady of Ukraine replied that that was why she was most worried about the residents of Mariupol, Kharkiv, Irpen and Buchi, where the situation is very difficult and constant shelling.
Who is Olena Zelenska
Olena Zelenska is the wife of Ukrain’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and current 1st lady of Ukrain. Prior to the presidential election, Zelenskaya was in the shadow of her husband. She avoided excessive publicity and was categorically against her husband’s participation in the election campaign.
Olena Zelenska is 4r years old, she, like Volodymyr, was born in Kryvyi Rih. She studied with her future husband in parallel classes at the same school. But the couple met by chance after school. The meeting took place when both were students and studied at different institutes.
Olena said that the artist attracted her attention with decency and wit. “He was never bored,” she said. However, Volodymyr was in no hurry to ask for her hand. She had been waiting for eight years for a statement to be made after the couple went to the cinema and watched a melodrama. Zelensky’s wedding took place in 2003.
Olena and Volodymyr married in 2003, became parents in 2008 – they had a daughter, Oleksandra, and on January 21, 2013, Olena gave her husband a son named Kirill.
Olena studied to be an architect, but did not work a single day in her specialty – she helped her husband come up with miniatures for KVN, then she was the author of the Kvartal 95 studio.
Zelenska is not a public figure. Prior to the election campaign, Olena appeared only in rare photos of her husband on Instagram and in videos from the Quarter Hall and the Laughter League. And Volodymyr himself carefully protected her from the media.
Zelensky himself says that his wife is a true friend and has a tremendous influence on his decisions.
“I love her as much as I love myself. And when your beloved wife gives you children, you realize that, damn, you love children even more than yourself, it’s a disaster! Family is a unique story. I am not ready for anything to lose them, “the politician said.
According to Zelensky’s electronic declaration, Olena owns two apartments, a Mercedes-Benz Mathis and expensive jewelry: a luxury watch Piaget, Bovet, Breguet and diamond jewelry from Graff.
Olena Zelenska admitted that at first she reacted aggressively to the news about her husband’s nomination for the presidency of Ukraine. She soon decided to support her husband, appearing more and more often at his campaign headquarters and in public.
