In Monaco, the annual charity evening held by the Elina Svitolina Foundation helped raised funds in support of Ukraine.

“This year has been both the happiest and the most tragic for me. The moment when I found out that Gael and I were going to have a child, the war broke out in my country. Even now, I still can't fully describe what I was feeling at that moment. I felt hurt and powerless because I couldn't stop this terrible war. However, I made a decision to take action.

On the 2nd of December, we held the 3rd edition of the charity gala. There, we raised over €240,000 for the Elina Svitolina Foundation and the United24 program launched by Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky. For this, I want to THANK my dear friends, guests and partners!

No matter what the future brings, we will continue to take actions for Ukraine and help young talents! Glory to Ukraine!" Elina Svitolina wrote.

EUR 57,000 of it was transferred via UNITED24 to purchase generators for Ukrainian hospitals.
