Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena Zelenska have been under fire since it was revealed that they will be on the cover of the October issue of Vogue magazine.
The Ukrainian presidential couple was photographed by Annie Leibovitz, with the photo shoot drawing criticism from netizens as war rages in Ukraine.
A user wrote on Twitter: “What a horrible trivialisation of the Ukrainian war […] What a way to play into Putin’s game and his propaganda.”
Another shared: “A massive amount of Ukrainian soldiers are dying every day, and Zelensky [thinks to himself] ‘let’s do a shoot with Vogue'”
In the exclusive interview with Vogue, the First Lady talks about her marriage to Volodymyr, who went from comic to president in a few years.
She also talks about the conflict and says she has no doubts about Ukraine’s final victory.
