He says they\u2019re starting to learn Spanish. I\u2019m interested in that. I don\u2019t know Spanish, but honestly, I\u2019m only interested in the time I can spend with him, no matter what he\u2019s doing. My son is young. And my daughter, she\u2019s already grown up. These are the moments that recharge you, give you energy. These are the happiest moments. That\u2019s when I can relax.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I also enjoy reading books. I\u2019ll be honest, any kind of fiction, I read at night, two, three, four, 10 pages max, and then I fall asleep. It\u2019s the same when I try to watch a video or a movie at night \u2014 I just don\u2019t have the energy. I\u2019ll tell you, once I\u2019m in bed, whatever I try to read or watch, I fall asleep. I wake very early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And, probably, the second thing that recharges me, besides family, is a bit of exercise. In the morning, it also gives me energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And probably understanding what we are doing, what we can do, and believing in Ukraine\u2019s victory. I believe very much in people, especially when people know and say, \u201cWe know how hard it is for everyone, but you, Mr. President, you are holding on, and we are with you.\u201d I am always with the people. I think we recharge each other. So you see, again, it\u2019s just emotions, some positivity, and that\u2019s probably enough.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-9ycfei eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1578e6c1\">The Health of Democracy in Ukraine<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Q: It\u2019s now been five years since you\u2019ve been president, and it\u2019s a very uncertain time for Ukraine.
