The president's wife said she doesn't get to see him. Often.
Olena Zelenska said that their relationship was on pause.
She said that her children can only talk to Zelenskyy on the phone, and that they are waiting to be together.
Ukraine's first lady told CNN that her relationship with her husband, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was on pause as they are forbidden to see each other during the war.
Olena Zelenska told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that Zelenskyy is only allowed to see her for a short time.
Zelenska said she could feel him next to her.
This isn't usual. Children have to talk to their father on the phone when they can't see their dad. Our relationship is on hold just as it is for all Ukrainians.
We are waiting to be together again to talk to the kids about their things.
Zelenskyy and his wife have not left Ukraine.
The family couldn't see each other in the first two months of the war. Zelenskyy and his staff lived in his office while Zelenska and their two children were kept out of sight.
Zelenska said in a CNN interview that the ongoing war had taken a large toll on the country and that she couldn't see the end of it.
Zelenska said it was hard to hold on for five months. We need to save our energy.
