gave an interview to one of the most famous American political commentators, Farid Zakaria, on CNN.

The first lady talked about life during the war, how Ukrainians live under constant Russian attacks and whether the enemy will manage to intimidate Ukrainians.

"Having held on for almost a year, we are able to hold on even longer. Of course, no one wants it to last that long, we want it all to end. But we can hold on," said Olena.

The wife of the president noted that the Russians have not succeeded and will not succeed in intimidating and breaking Ukrainians.

Zelenska also told how Ukrainian children react to the war.

"Our children distinguish the sound of a rocket flying, a drone flying and our air defense system working. I am sure that no child in the world should know this. Our children are growing up too early, and this is perhaps the most difficult thing emotionally - to see children with through the eyes of an adult," Olena said.

The president's wife also shared how she creates emotional stability for her children.

"We also try to maintain normality in the family: mom goes to work, children study. And this supports. Education is what keeps us together, what prevents us from sitting down and folding our hands," she added.

Zelenska appeared at the interview in a brown business suit and a black turtleneck.

She complemented her outfit with neat styling, light makeup and elegant earrings.

We will remind, the first lady demonstrated a charming outfit in a black dress with buttons and beautiful embroidered puffy sleeves.

She emphasized her waist with a thin beige belt
