The world’s number 15 told sports channel Eurosport that her family and friends who are still in Ukraine are currently defending the country, and that she would like to help. “Everyone is terrified, everyone is devastated,” she said. “My family is there, as are many of my friends who have not left the country. They fight for their lives, some fight for our country. It takes a lot of courage.”
The tennis star, one of Ukraine’s most famous athletes, added: ,,I want to do something for them. Some of my friends are without electricity, without water, without food. They are really having a hard time.”
