The president's secret. The First Lady explains how Zelensky copes with stress and holds on during the war

The title and work of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the war leads to a lot of stress, which, as it turns out, President Volodymyr Zelensky successfully copes with. Children and sports help him recover psychologically.

In an interview with journalist Piers Morgan on YouTube during a business trip to the UK, First Lady Olena Zelenska said that her husband is so mentally balanced that you can even "get energy from him." However, the president has his own "recipes" and secrets, one of which is spending time with his children.

"I work a lot with mental health and realize that everyone's psychological stability is different. It is like general health, like immunity. There are a certain number of tests that they can go through without harm, which will not have consequences for mental health. Of course, this is a very difficult time for him. He is very tired, but he has his own recipes. His children always help him. To be silly, to dance, to sing some songs, to laugh with them. It strengthens him," she said.

Another way for Volodymyr Zelensky to relieve tension is to play sports. From his pre-independence days, we remember the president as a lover of gym workouts and outdoor activities. But it seems that Zelensky has remained a sports fan even after almost round-the-clock hard work in the office.

"He goes in for sports, and it helps him a lot. When he's so tense that... you know, when his nerves are so stretched that they're about to give out, he goes to work out. And he feels better. He knows what to do. Only sometimes there is not enough time to sleep. But that can't be solved now either. I'm sure he will be able to withstand it all. He is strong," the first lady said.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, although Volodymyr Zelensky loves to spend time with his children, he does not always have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, he meets with them about once a week and only for a few hours, and he has a "parallel life" with his wife because of the constant difference in the time of meetings and affairs.
