Olena et Volodmymr

 

"I am Olena Zelensky, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodmymr Zelensky. I met my husband when we were schoolmates, but were never acquainted. He once said that he knew many of my classmates, but not me. We got acquainted much later — when I was studying at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Kryvyi Rih National University. We dated for eight years before getting married on 6 September 2003. On 15 July 2004, our daughter Oleksandra was born. On 21 January 2013, I gave birth to our son Kyrylo. Aside from being First Lady of Ukraine, I am also a writer and architect. I am also being targeted for death by Mr. Putin.” 

Tenez bon vous deux ! Soyez assurés du respect que vous porte le monde entier .

We have been told by the president himself that his family are targets, and still, they stay. Still they remain strong. They talk of calmness and strength. They remind us all that the children are watching. How we convey these world events to our children, our grandchildren, our families, has so much to do with how they manage their hopes and their fears. If this family can stand strong, so can we all! #standwithukraine
