FACE PAINT AND PRIDE… A FAMILY AT WAR

My man is not for changing, says Mrs Zelensky

Volodymr Zelensky and his wife Olena are spending time together with their children in a major show of defiance to Monster of War Vladimir Putin.

Out of the blue a confetti of incendiary bombs and a congregation of mindless murderous uniformed morons left so many people fearing they didn’t even have a prayer.

Then diminutive former comedian and telly star Volodymr Zelensky stepped in to the half-light of horror. He became the determined face of defiance, strategy and resilience his people needed.

And while Putin flounders in the mud and blood of his own vile ambition, almost all of the rest of the world sees Zelensky as the man who can potentially save it. Unlike so many of them, he has never appeared to tremble at the increasingly rambling rants from bloated Putin.

Putin’s finger may be on the button – but Zelensky’s hand is on our hearts.

His wife Olena fled with their two children as war began. They sheltered in what is described as ‘safe space’ in Ukraine. Russia’s baying dogs of war couldn’t find Olena or the children, Oleksandra and Kyrylo, aged 17 and nine.

At the photo-shoot and Press conference, Mrs Zelenska said she was unsurprised that her husband had inspired the world with his leadership and resistance to Russia. 

She said: “Nobody takes my husband away from me, not even war.”

“‘I can’t say that Volodymyr has changed since the start of this war. He was a reliable husband and a reliable man before, and that he remains.

“His point of view hasn’t changed, the way he’s wired hasn’t changed.”
