Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska visited a children’s ward in a Copenhagen hospital today.
Olena, 45, dressed in a nice green pantsuit, traveled to Rigshospitalet, a highly specialized hospital in Denmark, during her visit to the country.
The First Lady was all smiles as she spoke with the Chief Nurse of the Department for Children and Youth with Surgical Disorders, Trine Spiegelhauer.
She also chatted with Danish Health Minister Sophie Loehde and Rigshospitalet director Rasmus Moegelvang.
The hospital’s history dates back 250 years to Denmark’s first proper hospital, ‘Det Kongelige Frederiks Hospital’, which was established in Copenhagen to treat and care for poor patients free of charge.

She opted for a belt to cinch her waist along with a pair of pointy kitten heels and a pair of gold hoops.
In her war-ravaged country, the Olena Zelenska Foundation says it is currently rebuilding a hospital in Izium.
About 140,000 patients were left without medical care as the hospital was destroyed by Russian missiles, which destroyed key areas such as four operating rooms and an intensive care unit.
In a Telegram post, the First Lady of Ukraine wrote about how Russia destroyed more than 1,500 Ukrainian hospitals in more than a year and a half.
Olena and her husband, President Volodymyr Zelensky, are in Denmark for a two-day visit, having previously met Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia before joining Crown Princess Mary.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, since the outbreak of the war, the country has sent about 1.5 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine and an estimated 336 million euros in civilian contributions.
Mr Zelensky’s visit to Denmark was revealed on Sunday by the Danish Prime Minister’s office after announcing a decision to supply F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Zelensky had hailed the agreement – made by both the Netherlands and Denmark to supply the planes – as historic, CNN reports. “I am very grateful,” he added.
Over the weekend, the leader of the war-torn country was in Sweden, where he also met King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia — the same day a rocket attack in Chernihiv killed seven people and injured dozens more.
It was his first visit to the country since Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Zelensky condemned the rocket attack, which he said hit buildings including a theater and a university.
“This is what a neighborhood with a terrorist state is, this is what we unite the whole world against. A Russian missile hit right in the center of the city, in our Chernihiv,” he wrote on Telegram.
‘A square, the polytechnic, a theatre. An ordinary Saturday, which Russia has turned into a day of pain and loss.’
