Although the chaos and uncertainty of the general environment can easily damage the relationship between couples and even break up a close family, there is no negative impact on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, at least his wife Yelena Zelenskaya (Olena Zelenska) does not think so...

"I think our relationship is closer and our connection is stronger because we support each other in the way we want to be together," Zelenskaya said in an exclusive interview with British politician Michael Ashcroft (Baron Ashcroft) on August 17 local time.

This is also a rare occasion for the 46-year-old Ukrainian first lady to talk about her marriage during extraordinary times. "I don't think I have let him down, and he has never let me down."

According to Baron Ashcroft, although Zelenskaya is known to speak English well, she prefers to answer questions in Ukrainian, as if this can better express her true feelings.

"We don't see each other as often as we would like, so every time we do it's a joy. We never get tired of each other, we never bore each other. It also makes the family stronger," Zelenskaya told Baron Ashcroft.

It is reported that at the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zelenskaya had to live separately from her husband with her two children, 20-year-old daughter Oleksandra and 11-year-old son Kyrylo. At that time, she also said that it was very difficult to see each other, and she was not even sure where her husband was.

But now the couple can be together more often. Although life still faces challenges, they can get together naturally because they often appear in international occasions.

But now the couple can be together more often. Although life still faces challenges, they can get together smoothly because they often appear in international occasions.

For example, when attending the NATO summit held in Washington, D.C. last month, Zelenskaya inadvertently leaned on her husband, which not only embarrassed Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, but also made the Ukrainian president himself a little overwhelmed. But I think this is the true feelings.

"I hope that when we win, we can keep our sanity and everything will be fine. However, now I think we are emotionally closer than ever before," Zelenskaya tried to make the conversation seem casual. "We understand each other very well. In fact, it is very important to respect your loved ones." "I am sure that love alone is not enough. I am glad that I can respect my husband, because if I did not trust his honesty, it would be difficult for me to be with him even if I felt in love with him."

When Russian troops entered Ukraine in February 2022, the US gave Zelensky the option to leave, but the former actor allegedly responded: "The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride."

Zelenskaya spoke about this in a conversation with Lord Ashcroft and said: "I must be honest, it makes me proud of him. But it's not a surprise to me. It just proves once again that I chose the right person."

Although she is very proud of her husband, Zelenskaya has often been accompanied by fear for more than two years. "I hope to do everything I can to ensure his safety, and I also hope to do everything I can for the safety of my family... I don't want to think about bad things. I'm afraid to think about these things."
