Zelenskyy

Wife, mother, former screenwriter, and a graduate of Kryvyi Rih National University in civil engineering, the 44-year-old First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, ranks 30 among the most influential Ukrainians by Focus magazine. When her husband assumed office as the 6th President of Ukraine in 2019, Olena announced her first initiative was to reform the country’s school nutrition system and developed a complex program with Chef Levgen Klopotenko of CultFood to improve the provision of resources to children. Then, on February 24, 2022, she was forced to change her priorities from healthy living to sheer survival when Russia invaded her country.

With Ukraine under attack, its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has stepped in to help and protect the country that he knows, loves, and leads.
