Ukrainian politicians with their loved ones
Kirill Budanov and Marianna
The couple got married in 2013. When the great war began, Marianna did not even think about leaving Kyiv. She stayed with her husband. Since then, the couple has been together 24/7. As the head of the GUR himself admitted, the woman lives in the same office with him. At least, that was the case until Budanov headed the OP.

Volodymyr and Olena Zelensky
The presidential couple studied at the same school. During her student years, Olena had another boyfriend, but Volodymyr still managed to win her favor.
The couple worked, toured, and dated for 8 years. Zelenskyy didn't propose for so long because he was worried that after getting married, they would have children right away, and that wasn't part of his immediate plans.
However, on September 6, 2003, Olena and Volodymyr did become husband and wife and celebrated their wedding. Today, the Zelenskys are raising two children – daughter Oleksandra and son Kyrylo.

Valery and Elena Zaluzhny
The couple has been married for over 20 years. Valeriy Zaluzhny admitted that until 2014 they traveled a lot, but since the beginning of the war in Donbas and the occupation of the Crimean peninsula, he has spent very little time with his family.
The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Kingdom often shares cute and sincere photos with his wife on social media. And even more often, he dedicates warm lines full of love to her.
