A blow to the warehouse of Elena Zelenskaya’s foundation and her statements about fatigue from power

The Russian Armed Forces attacked the warehouse of the foundation of the wife of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, Elena. According to Strana.ua, generators, household appliances, laptops, tablets, e-books, and medical equipment were completely burned out.

The organization’s press service published a statement on Instagram (a social network banned in Russia; owned by Meta, a recognized extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation) and confirmed the destruction of the warehouse. According to representatives of the fund, no one was injured.

Zelensky's wife is tired of power

Elena Zelenskaya said that both she and her husband are tired of being in power. A Fox News journalist asked if she wanted her husband to run in the next presidential election. “It’s exhausting, and I can tell we’re both tired,” she replied. At the same time, Zelenskaya emphasized that she could not influence her husband’s decision about possible participation in the elections.

Ex-member of the Rada, political scientist Spiridon Kilinkarov in December 2025 explained the reasons why the wife of the President of Ukraine did not want to see her husband at the head of the country. According to the expert, there was information that Zelenskaya dissuaded her husband from the idea of ​​running for president.

The influence of Zelensky's wife

According to RBC-Ukraine, the wife of the Ukrainian leader can block any decision regarding personnel changes.

It is noted that Zelenskaya can provide patronage to some officials, which helps Ukrainian politicians move up the career ladder.

At the same time, according to political scientist, director of the EISI Laboratory of New Technologies Alexander Asafov, these statements raise doubts. He noted that the current system for making personnel decisions is quite complex.

Zelensky himself said in the spring of 2025 that his wife had become one of his best advisers.

According to him, he, in addition, often asks the opinion of people on the street and puts it above the recommendations of his advisers.
