Zelenskyy, first lady open up to Piers Morgan about the cost of war on their marriage in candid interview

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife, first lady Olena Zelenska sat down with Piers Morgan for an exclusive interview from war torn Kyiv, where they opened up about the challenges they face as a couple, and why they believe the war has only made their 19-year-marriage stronger.

Joining her husband in an international interview for the first time, the couple spoke candidly about their relationship and the pressures they've faced as president and first lady of Ukraine throughout Russia's invasion in a three-part series of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" from Ukraine The "Piers Morgan Uncensored" interview with Zelenskyy and his wife is scheduled to be available for streaming on Fox Nation on 27 th of July.

In a preview released ahead of the interview, Morgan asked first lady Zelenska about the cost of conflict on their family and whether the pressures she and her husband are facing have taken a toll on their relationship.

"I agree with the theory that marriage gets stronger with challenges," she said, "I think in our case it would be the same."

Zelenska said that she and her husband have "become more interested in each other" since the war's onset.

"That is why I wish that this challenge can make us more united," she said.

The first lady turned to her husband. "What do you think about it?"

"My answer wouldn’t be different," responded President Zelenskyy.

"When you are next to me, your opinion has priority," he said. "What I would say [is] I don't have any other experience. I’ve got only one wife and I am happy."

The couple also spoke to "Piers Morgan Uncensored" about Ukraine's war effort, Vladimir Putin, President Biden and outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Morgan earlier moderated, at the invitation of the first lady, the Second Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen on Saturday.

Zelenska convened the virtual summit where world leaders and Hollywood stars joined, asking for help mend the country and its people when the war ends. U.S. first lady Jill Biden, actors Richard Gere, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, and European Commission President Charles Michel were among the recognizable names who joined the summit.
