Ukraine’s first lady previously worked at her own television production company, which produced her husband’s comedy shows. These days, the civil engineering graduate has other responsibilities: since the beginning of the war, she has been fighting, among other things, to ensure that her compatriots can get psychological assistance quickly, and has been participating in a campaign to train first responders. Accessibility is also one of her main projects and she has initiated and promoted a manual on the topic, which she will present at Frankfurter Buchmesse (19-23 October).
