When I asked him where it would be, he answered: “This is a military secret.” “Well, that’s it,” I thought. I am a wife after all,” she said.
According to Padalko, a few days after this, she was urgently invited to host the event, and she realized that we were talking about the very forum where her husband would be.
“I didn’t tell him anything either, it’s a secret! I “lied” that I was going to an important interview in the morning,” she added.
The presenter admitted that their meeting was unexpected and very joyful for her husband.
Padalko noted that every year on December 31, she and her family review the best pictures taken during the goal.
“And although we no longer celebrate the New Year together, and although 2025 was especially difficult for me because of the decision [сына] Mihi join the SunUh, there is always something good to remember. May we all have more such moments next year,” she concluded.
