Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska has spoken about the emotional impact the war has had on her family in an interview with the BBC.

"This may be a bit selfish, but I need my husband, not a historical figure, by my side," she said.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the former comedy scriptwriter spent months hiding in secret locations with her children.

As she returned to public life, the war thrust Ms Zelenska into the spotlight, and she has since travelled the world to meet leaders and give speeches.
