Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was exposed to an embarrassing situation from his wife, Olena Zelenska while taking a souvenir photo with the President of Lithuania and his wife during the NATO summit held in the city of Vilnius.
Zelensky failed to obtain strong support for his country's membership in Nato.
It seems that the high hopes that the Ukrainian President pinned on the summit were not fulfilled in obtaining membership in Nato, after the allies confirmed that they would not enter into a direct confrontation with Russia, and that they would be content with providing military support.
But Zelensky did not find support even from those closest to him, after he appeared in a widely circulated video struggling to hold his wife's hand while taking a memorial photo with his Lithuanian counterpart.
Olena might have slightly snapped at Zelensky’s hand during the photoshoot.
Olena's behaviour sparked a rumour-storm that she was having problems with Zelensky, especially after she had previously stated that she was not currently living with her husband, because he spends nights in his office for security reasons, while she lives in their house with their two children.
The rolling scene brought to mind similar situations that occurred between controversial former US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania.
