In February, Svitolina went back to Ukraine for the very first time because the Russian intrusion began.
Svitolina, the largest name in Ukrainian tennis, is the ambassador for UNITED24 – a fundraising system started by Ukrainian head of stateVolodymyr Zelenskyy “A month has passed since I visited Bucha and Irpin and saw with my own eyes all the horror and consequences of the Russian invasion.
Lost and destroyed lives, the homes of our people. So grateful to @grammarly for joining my fundraiser and contributing $80,000. For my part, I will add another $20,000. This way, only $20,000 remains to be raised for the restoration of the residential complex at 53 Kyivska Street in Iprin.
I invite you to join, so that 390 Ukrainians can return home as soon as possible,” Svitolina wrote in her message.
