The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for five weeks, and although Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy is in front of the camera from time to time, it is not possible for the outside world to know exactly where he is.
According to the Daily Mail on April 1, local time, zelenskiy, now 44, is now hiding in the bunker most of the time, but it does not last too long, basically every 4 days he has to go out, the former comedian said to be to "see the actual situation with his own eyes".
Zelenskiy reportedly gave a joint interview to five journalists from Russia a few days ago, the first time since the conflict broke out that he was interviewed by the Russian side.
Although the content of the interview was not published publicly, the reporters briefly described the interview in the form of social media posts.
In a post, Alexander Morozov, one of the interviewers, called zelenskiy a "spectacular event." "It's clear that Zelenskiy only slept 2 hours a night for 30 days, but he decided to talk to us with severe insomnia."
Morozov also quoted Zelenskiy as saying in an interview, "Please forgive me, my day was a bit messy, I didn't sleep well last night," and the president, who is now worried about the situation.
In an interview with The Economist a few days ago, Zelenskiy said that he lived in the bunker but also went out as much as he could, "If I don't go out for three or four days and just stay in the office, I don't know what's going on outside."
It is reported that the bunker where Zelenskiy lived was blocked by metal doors, surrounded by snipers, and equipped with air defense systems, which was really very tight.
Such guarding is also motivated by fear, as early as the beginning of the conflict, it was reported that Zelenskiy was considered the number one assassination target, and according to his wife, Yelena Zelenskyka, he had survived "more than a dozen" assassination attempts.
The president, who has made himself a "tough guy," once famously said, "I'm here, I'm not hiding, I'm not afraid of anyone." In addition, he stressed, "We are all working where we should be, my team is with me, in Kiev".
It is unclear whether Zelenskiy was able to see his wife and two children, who also went into hiding at the beginning of the conflict, also because of the assassination list. Whether Yelena and her 17-year-old daughter Alexandra and her 9-year-old son Kirill are still in Ukraine is also a topic of speculation for the outside world.
Zelenskiy hinted in an interview with CNN that he was still able to communicate with his wife and children, but it was not clear how often. Zelenskiy also said that "my children definitely know what happened, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, I didn't explain anything to them.".
Zelenskiy and yelena, who is a staunch supporter of her husband, said publicly in mid-March, "Like every woman in Ukraine, now I am worried about my husband", "Every morning before I call him, I pray that everything will go well, and I know how strong and persistent he is", "He can withstand anything, especially when he defends the people and things he loves".
Yelena and her husband married in 2008, and before that, the two had been colleagues, and as an architectural designer, Yelena also had a good literary talent, and had worked as a screenwriter for her husband.
After becoming the first lady, although Yelena did not have many opportunities to appear in public, she was praised for her elegant and dignified image, especially generous and decent clothing, which made her one of the most dressed "powerful women" by many fashion magazines.
