First Lady of Ukraine: The war has strengthened my marriage to Zelensky

President and his First Lady, Olena Zelenska, in an interview with Pierre Morgan on Talk TV said they are now more interested in each other as a result of the brutal war. A trainer for the interview, expected to be broadcast tomorrow, tells the couple who were sitting in Kiev to discuss their relationship.

These kinds of situations can bring near or break a marriage. Is your marriage stronger because of what you've been through? )

Ukraine's First Lady: “I agree with the theory that marriage becomes stronger with challenges. I think the same has happened in our case. We have something else to say to each other, so I wish this challenge would make us more united.

The First Lady next addresses her husband, who has led Ukraine's extraordinary resistance against the invading forces for five months, asking for his opinion of their marriage.

Zelensky answers: My answer would be no different.

His wife answers jokingly: You should have your opinion on this. )

Laughing, the President then says: When you're close to me, your opinion has priority! But I mean, I don't have any other experience, I only have one wife, and I'm happy”.

Olena married her husband in 2003 and has two children together, Kyrylo, nine and Oleksandra 18. She was sworn in as the First Lady of Ukraine after Zelensky was elected president in 2019.

Last week, she said that her country's conquest has stolen her son's childhood, and Kyrylo now dreams of becoming a soldier when he grows up. Speaking in an interview with NBC News on Wednesday, she said their little boy has lost any interest in the hobby he enjoyed before the start of the war in February.
