Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned 45 today. On January 25, the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, posted an emotional picture and wrote a loving caption about her partner of many decades.

She posted a picture along with a caption, "I am often asked about how you have changed this year. And I always answer: "He haven't changed. He is the same. The same guy I have met when we were seventeen." But actually, something has changed: you smile much less now. For example, like on this photo."

She added, "I wish you to have more reasons for smiling. And you know what it takes. We all do. You are stubborn enough. But the main thing is to have enough health. So please, be healthy! I want to smile near you forever. Give me this opportunity!"
