In Komarov’s documentary, the president gave him and his cameraman a tour of his apartment on Bankova street in the centre of Kyiv, showed his military wardrobe and a photo on his desk.

On the morning of 24 February, the president immediately went to Bankova. Later, his wife and children joined him, as it was dangerous for them to stay at home.

Since then, Zelenskyy has been living in one of the rooms in the President’s Administration.

"I had what I used to go to the front in, I have a small wardrobe here. It's just the same clothes," said Zelenskyy, who changed his business suit to khaki clothes in the first days of the full-scale invasion.

Responding to Komarov’s remark on how his appearance changed over the course of the war, especially his eyes, the president said "Cannot give any orders to my eyes. It is what it is."

In July 2020, Zelenskyy and his family moved into a government-run dacha in the settlement of Koncha-Zaspa, causing an outrage among the citizens of Ukraine.
