Olena Zelenska
From comedy writer to Ukrainian first lady, Adrian Goldberg profiles the life of Olena Zelenska.
Olena Zelenska delivered a moving speech to MPs and peers recently, describing the terror of air raids, evoking memories of World War II and calling for further military support for her country.
The Ukrainian first lady has also addressed the US Congress and appeared on the cover of Vogue but stepping into the limelight has not been easy for the comedy writer, who is more comfortable behind the camera.
Adrian Goldberg profiles Olena Zelenska, speaking to some of the friends and colleagues who know her best.
