Zelensky apologises to his wife, that's what kept him secret.

Ukraine's presidential couple regain their smile when they have spent five months in the war launched by Russia. Olena Zelenska, during an interview, discovered how her husband Voldymyr Zelensky would run for president. She says she didn't know anything until she saw him on Ukrainian television.

Every day he thought to tell me, this is the moment, I have to tell her. But only when I saw his New Year speech did I learn that he was running”, said Olena Zelenska, wife of the president of Ukraine.

Then both burst into laughter, with Zelensky at the end of his apology to the first Ukrainian lady. The 44-year-old, a comedian by profession, came to power in 2019, when in the election he defeated rival Petro Porosenko.

“People's servant” promised to end the war with pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's East, not knowing that another larger one would expect during the exercise of office. Now, Zelensky has the difficult task of maintaining the country's territorial integrity and resisting one of Moscow's army's goals, which he is demanding on February 24th to bring it down with the government, ending Ukrainian democracy. / A2 CNN
