The wife of the Ukrainian president, Olena Selenska, talks about her daily life during the war …
“The fact that my family and I are being hunted seems like a bad action movie” – In an interview with “Zeit”, Olena Selenska gave moving insights into her current day-to-day life with children and as the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The fact that she and her husband are on “death lists” puts her off: “Sometimes everything that happens to us seems like a nightmare. I want to wake up – but that’s the reality! A terrible truth.”
The fact that she has to talk about the war with her children and that her youngest son is taking war photos breaks her heart: “I dream of the day he draws Batman or Spider-Man again.”
The magnitude of the propaganda shocks the strong woman: “Putin promises Russian parents compensation for the dead soldiers, but no compensation can replace your own child.” Despite everything, she tries to stay positive: “We will win, and I am sure that the Ukrainians will return and rebuild the cities destroyed by the Russian invaders.”
