Volodymyr Zelenskyy, originally a comedian, rose to prominence as Ukraine’s president during the war with Russia.
Since the invasion in 2022, he has led the nation with resilience, supported by his wife, Olena Zelenska. Olena, though less in the public eye, has been equally instrumental, advocating for the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
Olena and Volodymyr’s bond, forged in their hometown, grew from friendship to romance. They married in 2003 and had two children. Initially not involved in politics, Olena became a key behind-the-scenes figure in Volodymyr’s career.
In 2022, as war broke out, Olena stayed in Ukraine, supporting her husband while facing immense personal challenges. She advocates for Ukraine’s interests globally, including the return of abducted children, with over 19,000 still missing. Olena’s dedication to Ukraine’s future reflects her unwavering resilience.
