The First Lady

She might not be as well-known as Volodymyr Zelensky, but make no mistake, Ukraine's first lady, Olena Zelenska, is just as heroic as her presidential husband. And she's fighting just as hard to kick the Russian invaders out of her country. But this week her job became even more difficult when Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced he was mobilising an extra 300,000 army reservists to fight in the war. He also repeated his warning that he is prepared to use nuclear weapons, a threat condemned around the world. In an exclusive interview with Sarah Abo, Olena Zelenska urges countries like Australia to continue supporting Ukraine's war effort, saying her nation's very survival depends on it.
