New Delhi: Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, is going viral on the internet for sharing photos with his wife and First Lady Olena Zelenska. The photos were shared by the Ukrainian president’s wife on his official social media accounts. It is reported that the photos of Zelenskyy and his wife were clicked for a digital cover photoshoot for Vogue.
As soon as people saw the photos they started criticising Zelenskyy for doing a photoshoot when Russia is bombing his country. Notably, the war between both countries is not over yet since Russin President Vladimir Putin launched military strikes on Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
In one of the photos shared online, Zelenskyy can be seen holding Olena’s hand across a table. In another photo, Zelenskyy is seen sharing a warm embrace as well. For the photoshoot, Olena Zelenska also posed solo near tankers and soldiers, highlighting the conflict situation in Ukraine.
Sharing the photos on Instagram, Olen said it is a great honour and dream of many successful and prominent people of the world to get featured in Vogue Magazine.
”To be on the @voguemagazine cover is a great honor and dream of many successful and prominent people of the world. The only thing I wish for all of them is that it is not because of war in their countries.”
”And now I would like you to see every Ukrainian woman here, in my place. Who fights, volunteers, settles in a refugee camp, does her job under the sound of a siren, holds on under the occupation. She has the right and deserves to be on the covers of the whole world. Each of you, fellow Ukrainian women, is now the face and cover of our country,” read the caption.

”People forget about major world events annoyingly fast. I’m not sure that doing a Vogue photo shoot was the best way to remedy that, but I get why Zelenskyy would do it,” read a fourth user.
