Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska has indicated that she’s not seen her husband since the war started more than two months ago.
Speaking to Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, she said she was seeing President Zelensky “just like you – on TV and on video tapes of his speeches”.
Zelenska said the conflict has not changed her husband, as “he has always been like that […] a man you can rely on”.
Echoing comments from the president, she accused Russia of plotting to commit genocide – something that Russia has vehemently denied.
Zelenska was asked if she had any messages for the mothers or partners of Russian soldiers.
“I have nothing more to say to them,” she said.
“If the coffins do not convince them that something is wrong here – I have nothing to say to them.”
