What a beautiful connection between you and Anderson. The connection between you two have opened our eyes to the horrors of the war in Ukraine, and the beauty of the Ukrainian people.
Anderson is the one who introduced me to you and your family around day 64. Keeping in contact throughout this war has been so eye-opening through his perspective as well as yours. Katya’s English is amazing!! ♥️ to all. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 Heroyam slava ❤
Katya is amazing. Her English is great and her logic seems so mature for her age.
So true 😍
Anderson is a wonderful guy! He really cares about people! ❤
Yes, and he’s a good listener.
Thanks Anderson for helping them get to New York!
When you spoke with Anderson earlier I was so happy for you. I think you realised that people are really hearing your message. We are still interested and sending our love to you all. Slava Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦
I love Anderson Cooper. He’s a great journalist. I loved the memoir he wrote years ago.
I followed you B.A. (Before Anderson.) I am thrilled that he’s made your story more widely known. It helps bring the war to mind better than just reports of bombings and battles. Thank you Anderson and Olena for helping us understand the fight for freedom in Ukraine just a little better.
Lovely interview. Showing Anderson Cooper as he is. Honest and clear. Thank you for posting.
Hello Olena, Katya, Taras and Daryna. Hello Serhiy.
Wonderful to see you with Anderson Cooper. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Love and prayers 💗🥰🙏

Well-said, Anderson!
yes! Anderson Cooper I am most grateful for the evening you "introduced" us to Olena Gnes. I remember that evening and immediately contacted her and followed her firsthand knowledge of the war. I checked in daily to be sure her husband and children and Olena were safe, I prayed they would come to the United States and totally relieved when they were on their way. Then I began to have one wish. A wish that I could spend my birthday with them and take them all to lunch...That I could meet them all and bring them smiles and good old-fashioned fun. I am forever grateful that my birthday wish came true on April 27 ... and as time goes by, that memory of the day with Olena and family will remain in my heart forever, the greatest gift to share hugs, the joy, the smiles, the laughs and a few tears, we all shared are etched in my heart. Life passes ever so rapidly. Our time together was the greatest gift of all. God bless the family we have all come to know and love. Thank you Anderson.
Freedom will come for Ukraine! ❤️🇺🇦
Wow. I loved his answer to your initial question (and all of them). Also, it was great seeing Katya speak up, intelligently as always - and see him engaging with her. It’s nice to see Serhii in there, too 🎥🙂. Lots of people I respect in that one room! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

Katya's English is very good. As an immigrant to Canada, I realized that teaching English is the best thing any parent can do for their child. You can go anywhere in the world and still be able to communicate.
🙂 How wonderful to see you both meeting again! 🙂
Olena- you did such an awesome job interviewing Anderson Cooper! He is a wonderful journalist and so are you. I'm so glad that you are getting an opportunity to become acquainted with him and his family and yes, you should keep all of that private. You are all looking so good, it is a blessing, really. ❤🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦❤️
great interview, it seems that Anderson and you know each other for years.
You are all really good humans with big hearts and wonderful abilities to tell stories, share experiences, give others a place to be heard and understood. I forgot that I was watching 'strangers' and felt such warmth and gratitude listening in on your conversation. Anderson made the right career choice. Olena and family, continually making really hard but spot on life decisions. I look forward to the day when Anderson visits you again in a peaceful sovereign Ukraine.
Olena interviewing Anderson in CNN while co-peeling an orange and reminding big kids to eat quietly is Olena in a nutshell!
I have loved Anderson since He was "keeping them honest" in the wake of Katrina. Love you so much, Anderson.
Olena, hello dear. So happy to see you, your family with Anderson again. It has come full circle, huh? From the underground bunkers in Ukraine to NYC. I know you miss home, however you must know how grateful we are that you and Sirhiy are safe with Katya, Taras and Daryna over here. We stand with Ukraine and love you all. Slava Ukraini 💛💙 every day I pray for you. Love and blessings ❤
Yes, what a circle! You interviewing AC with your personal photographer Serhiy. You're becoming quite the multimedia journalist! 😊
Excellent video !! Thanks Anderson for taking care of them in New York!!
This is so beautiful Olena. The way we know how special you are is thanks to your meeting Anderson. ❤❤❤Thank you Anderson and thank you Olena. “So real and human” says it all. 💙💛🇺🇦
Katya's english is getting so good and they are adjusting well. They have a good teacher :)
I discovered you on CNN too. You brought the war into a new and live reality for us. Always praying for you ❤️
Yes, he is the reason I watch you.
Yay! So glad you are getting together with your friend Anderson! Good people
Very nice interview. What a wonderful opportunity to see Anderson again.
Katya's is very bright and her English is excellent.
Anderson is a great man. He's honest, kind, caring, and the bravest journalist on tv.
Pryvit dearest Olena, thank you for sharing this experience of friends sitting at a table, talking about life. I see love, and I see caring, and I see humanity. We are so happy and grateful you are here but will be more exuberantly. Happy when you and your amazing family are able to return home to Kyiv, Ukraine, when it is safe. Please give hugs to your family members from me, I love you all.🙏🇺🇦🙏🥰
Anderson articulates the things many of us are thinking and feeling but are unable to say face to face. We want you to be able to return to your home and rebuild your lives. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
Olena .. I’ve been waiting and hoping for “This Meeting” with All of You and Anderson .. especially knowing you were in New York. And the fact that it was you interviewing him .. Wow !! 👏👏 What a real treat this is for us to see .. but most of all .. what an honour this must have been for You 📹. So happy to hear that you were able to not only get to go to CNN .. but had the opportunity to visit his family/home .. that’s so cool. I’m still hoping that his son (Wyatt) will get together with (Sweet Daryna) .. that’s the romantic in me. Lol Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us .. and I look forward to the video when Anderson comes back to Ukraine .. to see it’s rebuilding and to meet with you at home !!! Then this story will have gone full circle. Safe journey and as always .. sending Love and Hugs and Hope that your return home .. will be one day SOON. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Glory to the Heroes
Also, I can't wait to visit peaceful, still beautiful Ukraine. Watching your channel before as a tour guide of Ukraine, Chernobyl, etc, then it was not a month later and there's a wild invasion from neighboring Russia; not going to lie, the timing was uncanny and very upsetting to see the confusion and terror. Seeing your courage and Sirhiy's bravery on full display every day... your struggles were (and are) impossible to fathom, while still remaining inspirational. Sharing your lives with us took a lot of guts. Thank you (words are not enough) for letting the world see how difficult life truly is when your beloved home is under attack. That takes magnitudes of courage. Kids at the playground, your sister babysitting, their teacher, your friends and family in the local parks. Everyday life activities, gone in the blink of an eye. You opened many many people's eyes by sharing. Sending hugs❤ #Stoprussia
Omg Anderson is real, amazing and Professional!!!
I am so happy too see all of you with him right there.
👍✨🇺🇦
Love Anderson Cooper, very kind and generous person ❤
It’s how I learned about you. You. Olena. Made it so human. I see my own family in you. It’s very real for me. I am grateful for Anderson Cooper and learning of you. Sending you warm hugs. Deep support.
#SlavaUkrainii
My first wish for you and your family is to return to a safe and peaceful Ukraine! I pray for this all the time! My SECOND wish for you is to have your own show on CNN as a correspondent, along side Anderson, bringing your special talent of communicating to the world!! :-) It would be a huge success, that is for sure! 🙂🙂🙂 Love you Olena! Hope all is going well and you are settled in and enjoying the North! Sending a million hugs!!
Yall will always be friends...Thanks yall 🌐💗🇺🇦🕊️
Yes, indeed - as Anderson says, interviewing you with your family, in your circumstances, has been very illuminating. You are always authentic, Olena, and journalists like that and need that. Plus you are articulate and have a philosophical outlook on life. You are relatable - also very important in journalism.
Thank you for keeping the world informed - for all your hard work.
So happy you met up with Anderson! Did you ever think you would be sitting with him at CNN in NY?! I am so blown away by how fluently Katya speaks English now! (Also blown away to think that Daryna has known Anderson for most of her life!) I remember you saying that Katya chose to be "in school" here. How is she managing with that? How is it different than school in Ukraine?
I love this on so many levels.
Thanks Olena. Great interview!❤
Danke und herzliche Grüße aus Köln. Michael. Thank you and best wishes from Cologne in Germany.
Wonderful interview! ❤
ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕 I love him so much!!! Yes! I watch him every New Year's!
A room full of love and hope. Those beautiful and brave children and the friendship between the adults just makes me melt. I love you all ❤️
I also found you through Anderson Cooper. I feel humbled to be able to follow you from the beginning of the war and have looked forward to your videos and felt it important to know you and your family and have been the face of humanity in this inhumane war. I can only imagine how much you miss your home but to see your children flourish and have fun in safety is a joy. Enjoy the rest of your travels. When you go to Martha’s Vineyard I hope you take a trip to Boston and arrange to meet up with all who want to meet with you.
What a nice reunion…a friendship that is meant to be…💕
I have always adored Anderson Cooper - kind, intelligent, generous, compassionate, AND extremely funny on New Year's Eve! LOL. I also saw you on his show during the start of the war. So happy to see this beautiful bond between families and fellow journalists. Katya is very wise. It was powerful watching Anderson absorb her words. The 'loud eating' from the kids was adorable! 🤣 You are such great parents. I also think Daryna loves oranges! haha Much love and virtual hugs to all. 💕 One day you will be home 🌻with many visitors.
Clear spirit,true communications, simplicity and humanity.
Without artifice!
BRAVO
I'm glad that you were able to visit with Anderson in New York and also see the CNN studios. That's fitting since he came to visit you in Ukraine! Along with you, I also hope that the next time he sees you, you will be back in a peaceful and victorious Ukraine! Not that we want you to leave the U.S., mind you! We love having you here! 🤗
Wow! A visit to New York City! Cool!
Hello, This was one of the most amazing and touching videos I have ever seen. Elena and her husband and beautiful children and Anderson Cooper.
I love Anderson Cooper and I’m happy you got to visit him!
So glad you saw him! I am in tears. Everything he has just said to you is why he is so awesome. People listen to him!
Hi Olena, It was Anderson who first introduced your family to us. Of course when we saw that you were staying in a basement/ bomb shelter, we started worrying about you and your family. So we started following you on the internet. Needless to say, we were greatly relieved when we heard your family had arrived in Georgia. Slava Ukraini
❤ Wonderful you were able to spend some time all together with each other’s family! So nice of you to share a few minutes of sitting down with Anderson. I hope you continue to make such fond memories in America! ❤
Anderson Cooper is a gem, thank you Olena, it was so wonderful to see all of you together.
Wow amazing how Katya has progressed since we met you all , her English is great a smart young girl you have just like Mom , Anderson Cooper is a wonderful Person your lucky to have met him I wish it was not under the circumstances. Wishing you and your Family well.
Thank you for sharing this. Anderson is special person. Came from a privileged family but has also known sadness and loss in his life. He always shows compassion and is so humble and kind.
❤❤❤
Olena, I just knew this day would come - with you & the family being with AC in NYC!!! What a great interview. Slava Ukraini!!! 💛💙
Fast forward 25 years, I see Katya interviewing a more senior Anderson! Topic - 'How one meeting in a war torn apartment helped change the world'
How awesome for you all to be in New York and visiting/interviewing Anderson Cooper! Fantastic interview Olena and family! 💙💛
What an excellent interview. So nice too see you in NY with Anderson. He is the best
Special moments with Olena, family and Anderson!! Love this and he is why I have followed you! His first interview with you! I have talked about you to my co workers and they ask how you are doing. As a mother I cannot imagine what you have been through! I pray for your safe return to a peaceful Ukraine 🇺🇦 soon! ❤🙏🇺🇦
Anderson Cooper is such a beautiful man. So happy they are doing well and thanks for an update❤
Another wonderful conversation between you and Anderson! I could watch/listen to the two of you talk for many, many more hours! ❤🇺🇦 I am forever grateful to Anderson for introducing me to you. 😘
Awww. What a wonderful reunion. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I have always loved watching Anderson Cooper as you can see his heart is in what he does. I found you from his interview with him and I have followed you ever since. You have both taught me so much . Thank you for sharing this time together
Olena, that was such a wonderful real interview you did of Anderson. I learned more about him than what I have seen before. You have a natural gift for journalism and storytelling. I hope you pursue those opportunities in a peaceful Ukraine. God bless.
Loved this video! I’m a big fan of Anderson Cooper. He’s so humble, kind, sweet and just an amazing human! So happy you got to meet up with him, Olena. Hugs and kisses to you and your beautiful family.
Olena thank you so much for sharing this video and that is the first time i saw you too on Anderson's show and I've been following you and your family every since. Once again am so glad you and your beautiful family are here and safe there are so many people that worried about you and your family if you didn't post for a couple of days when in Ukraine. This interview was absolutely heartwarming. God bless you and Mr am fine guy better known as your hubby 😂😂🤣 and yalls beautiful children. Lots of love to you all. 🤗😘❤
Olena, your daughter is so full of wisdom. I pray that you will be able to return within the year. Keep the faith. I will keep doing what I can to raise money for the army and for humanitarian relief, hoping that what little I can do will help bring this war to an end
What a wonderful video! Anderson has become a part of your family, and you are all a part of his. Such a great friendship has developed. It's very heartwarming. 💕
This was wonderful! God meant for you all to meet. Who knows what could have happened if you hadn't crossed paths. I'm glad you got out with your family when you did. Great job from the cameraman as well.😁
Anderson Cooper is the best. I just love him what a great person
Dear Olena! This was a very exciting video! What an honour to meet Anderson again. He is such a gem!😃
Great interview with Anderson, Olena! Nice to see that continued connection between your family and him. I can tell you all captured his heart from the get go, as I think you did many of us ♥️. As he said, you brought the humanity of this war to the world. Your family has had many difficult choices to make, but I think everything was destined for a purpose…then and now. Always be confident and proud of the decisions you have made and will make….you and Serhiy are the ones that know what is best for your family! Love seeing you thrive here…and always hoping for a quick return to your beloved country for you!💙💛
🙂💙💛❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋
Thank you for sharing this Olena! It was wonderful to see.
Anderson is a wonderful human being. And so are you Olena. Thanks to both of you and many more with big hearts .. The rest of the world is informed because of your dedication and determination ! I'm happy to hear you visit with Anderson and keep in touch. Many blessings to all of you❤
That was just incredible, Olena. I.m so proud of you and yr family. We will be victorious - I just wish it would hurry on up, and the killing would end. Xox much love, roberto/ frisco
I found out about you through Cooper in the early days last year. Your videos did document an important part of history.
He's such a nice guy and considering his upbringing very down to earth.
Wonderful interview. I was following you long before this invasion and was pleasantly surprised when I saw you being interviewed by Anderson. I pray this ends soon. Slava Ukraine and (to Serge) Heroym Slava!!
Great interview Olena! Anderson is such a nice person and very talented as well!
So happy to see with Anderson Cooper, he is so easy to listen to, such a honest person, love his books he wrote
I love Anderson and it is how I got to see you and your beautiful family ❤ I have been following you ever since ❤
We found you and your family through CNN and we were instantly hooked because we have a baby who is the same age as Daryna. The reporting talking to you brought it home we could feel the fear and sadness and uncertainty. You're so strong and brave and we are all happy you and your family are safe.
If only all of our reporters in the USA could be as honest and purebred as Anderson Cooper, our country and the world would be a better place for us to live. Thanks for sharing these special moments with him. I love how your children are so at ease in so many situations.. They appear to be thriving despite their war experiences. I think this is because they have such loving and caring parents. Hurray for Serghi and you. Love to all. Hope to see you this summer.
What a wonderful conversation with one of my favorite people in the world-Anderson Cooper! Thank you, Olena!
Thank you for the personal glimpse into our wonderful news correspondent Anderson Cooper.
I just love watching the children, Bloom and grow
I found Olena because of Anderson. Thanks Anderson
Anderson Cooper is such a great human being! Also noted how much English the girl has learned in such a short time. Wow.
Olena,you look like you,and Anderson Cooper,are good friends,the kids are getting so big,I see your husband in the corner,with the camera
From the mouth of babes come the truth! Simple Russia must be stoped ! Your Katya is brilliant !
I’m so glad your in the US for now. It’s done wonders for your children. They’re smiling, safe, and your daughter is speaking English so well!!!
Anderson is so awesome. He is the best.
