First Lady Olena Zelenska and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the Superheroes School in their hometown of Kryvyi Rih. The hospital branch was created to treat and educate children.

The new photos posted on the Telegram channel show the first lady's best friend Iryna Pikalova, the ex-wife of Kvartal 95 actor Alexander Pikalov. In the picture, she is wearing a blue suit.

As Zelenska told the World Inside Out program, she has been friends with her closest friend since she was 18. The president's wife admitted that over the years she has never doubted her friend. "Life is impossible without friends. For example, I have known my friend Iryna since I was 18. Now I am 46. We have been together most of our lives. And I have never doubted that she is the best person in my life. And it's really cool to have friends," she said.

In 2019, the first lady shared a photo with Irina Pikalova, dedicating a sincere post to her: "A study on happiness has proven that friendship and sincere relationships are important to a person. It's hard to disagree with this... Ira, I am proud of our amazing friendship."
