Now, she reflects that she never dreamt of her husband becoming the "historical figure" he is today, saying she has missed him and needed him to stand by her side as her husband.

Despite what she said may be a "selfish" longing, Olena Zelenska said the president "really does have the energy, the will power, inspiration, and stubbornness to go through this war".

It's a bit out of context and BBC's story isn't word-per-word on what she said (there's video interview as well) but the main idea is that she would rather live life where her husband was around instead of being historical figure leading a country in war. And I can absolutely understand that, I hope both of them (and all of the Ukraine) can soon return to normal and boring everyday life instead of air raids, active battlezones, mines and other explosives around cities and so on.
