Since the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has become a widely discussed figure. His recent trip to Washington, D.C., which was dubbed a debacle by the media, placed him under the spotlight yet again. However, even though things have grown complicated of late for the Ukrainian leader, he has the support of his wife Olena Zelenska every step of the way.

Volodymyr and Olena have been together for many years, tying the knot on September 6, 2003. The couple have two children, Aleksandra and Kiril.

Olena Zelenska hasn’t been in the public eye as much as her husband, but she’s loved by her people.

The two first met while at university, where she was studying law. They didn’t start dating immediately as she was involved with someone else at the time, but over time, they understood they shared many interests together.
