Ukraine's first lady Olena recently visited Serbia alone, and appeared in the same frame as Serbia's first lady Vučić, and the two fashionable and elegant first ladies competed on the same stage. As Ukraine's "national ambassador", Olena frequently flew solo during the war, which not only showed the charm of Ukraine's fashionable diplomacy, but also interpreted the tenacity and responsibility of a first lady.
On May 12, Olina arrived in Serbia for a two-day visit. During the meeting with Serbian First Lady Vučić, both appeared in elegant and appropriate attire. Olena chose a black and white color scheme, with a balloon sleeve top and high-waisted wide-leg pants, and the overall look was full of aura. Mrs. Vučić wore a white dress with a flowing hem, which made her more youthful.
During the visit, the two ladies visited the Belgrade Municipal Library and attended the signing ceremony of the cooperation agreement between universities of Ukraine and Serbia. As a witness of cultural and educational exchanges, Olena's elegant and generous demeanor was praised by everyone at the scene. As the mother of a country, she used her charm to win friendship and support for Ukraine.
However, frequent solo trips were not easy for Olena. In the photos of the day, the 45-year-old is a little tired, and her face is a little rounder than before, but she still can't hide her elegant and intellectual temperament. Even as the first lady of wartime, Olena insisted on showing her best and showing the power of Ukrainian women.
It is worth mentioning that Olena and Mrs. Vučić showed a very high tacit understanding and friendship during the meeting. The two are always smiling and talking cordially, and they are like friends for many years with similar heights. When Mrs. Vučić kindly took Olena's hand, a heartfelt smile spread across their faces.
In fact, Olena has a similar background to Mrs. Vučić. As young and promising first ladies, they all shoulder the heavy responsibility of shaping the image of the country. As mothers, they also know how to balance family and responsibility. It was these similar experiences that brought the two first ladies to each other and build a deep friendship.
Olena once mentioned in an interview that Mrs. Vučić gave her a lot of encouragement and support. Serbia's support for Ukraine also warmed Olena's feelings. In the most difficult moment in Ukraine, it was these sincere friendships that made Olena feel the temperature of the international community and gave her more strength to face the challenges in front of her.
Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Olena has begun to frequently fly solo in diplomatic occasions. From her visit to Poland in April last year, to her attendance at the Davos Forum in January this year, and now to her trip to Serbia, she has won a lot of applause for Ukraine with her affinity and fashion sense.
However, underneath her glamorous appearance, Olena is also under unimaginable pressure. As a mother of two, she is always concerned about the safety of her family. As the wife of President Zonka, she also shoulders the responsibility of sharing the country's worries. In public, Olena is always smiling and elegant, but in private she has also shed tears of longing for her husband. Behind the aura of the first lady, she is more like the epitome of an ordinary and strong Ukrainian woman.
During her trip to Serbia, Olena once again demonstrated the fashion charm and diplomatic wisdom of the first lady of Ukraine. As Ukraine's "national business card", she has won more respect and support for the country in her own way. I believe that in the future, whether in fashion diplomacy or humanitarian aid, Olena will continue to interpret the demeanor of an outstanding first lady with her actions. And Ukraine, too, will finally regain the dawn of peace and hope under the representation of this strong and elegant woman.
