Shevchenko remarked in a video posted by Laureus Sport, according to Sportskeeda, “I want to thank you Polish people for being really kind to my country and hosting us here to provide for all our necessities.”
“I sincerely appreciate your help. Additionally, I want to thank Iga Swiatek and Robert Lewandowski for their significant contributions to the success of my nation’s fundraising efforts and support against the war in Ukraine.”
Swiatek, according to Shevchenko, is young yet doing a lot.
Shevchenko praised Swiatek, saying, “She is so young—only 21—and she is already achieving so much. The charity event held by Swiatek for Ukraine brought in 2.5 million PLN (€527,000).

Swiatek has backed Ukraine ever since Russian assault first began. Despite her best efforts, Swiatek says that she is disappointed to discover that some players appear to have forgotten about Ukraine. “I observed a decline in the memory of the conflict.
For two or three games, many players removed the ribbons they had been wearing since February. It’s a little erratic in my opinion. I kept and will keep this ribbon with me “said Swiatek.
