Olena Zelenska on the transition to the Ukrainian language

The First Lady Olena Zelenska stressed that one should not be afraid to make mistakes while transitioning to the Ukrainian language. She compared this process to healthy eating, believing that it is also beneficial. It was noted that Olena Zelenska expressed these thoughts in an interview for Marychka Padalko.

"The past cannot be erased, I want to change many things, to start learning and diving deep earlier. However, it is what it is. I think we need Time, patience, and support for one another. Because when we make mistakes, we are afraid that we will be judged, laughed at. Because of this, many people feel resistance," the First Lady explained.

The president's wife also noted that the transition to the Ukrainian language is similar to transitioning to healthy eating. She expressed hope that over time people will support this idea and there will be fewer opponents.

Reaction to the controversy involving Zelensky and Trump

Olena Zelenska also shared her reaction to the controversy between the presidents of Ukraine and the USA in the Oval Office. She admitted that she did not watch the live broadcast, but later rewatched the recording and followed the public's reaction.

"I did not watch the live broadcast of the situation. For some reason, I was busy. And I was lucky because at that moment such tension would be hard to bear. Then I quickly rewatched it, and I was curious about what others think about it, and I was pleased that the reaction was the same as mine," Olena Zelenska shared her impressions.

The Ukrainian First Lady also noted that learning and improving the Ukrainian language occupies an important place in the life of the Zelensky family, even when the children are studying other foreign languages.
