The period is particularly dark now following the attack on Ukraine by Russia. A very difficult situation to live with for the inhabitants on the spot, who have to face the horrors of the war, but also for their relatives who are outside the country. Yesterday, Gaël Monfils’ wife, Elina Svitolina, posted heartbreaking messages on her Instagram account. The Ukrainian tennis player has a lot of family in the country and the situation worries her a lot. This is also the case for a great French champion, Estelle Mosselywho shared his concern on social media.
Indeed, if the father of the young boxer of 29 years and of Congolese origin, his mother is Ukrainianand the ex-wife of Tony Yoka therefore has family there, as she indicated in her story on Instagram. “I hurt my Ukraine! War has been declared and it is everywhere. I pray for my family”, she wrote in a very moving first message. She then explained more about her vision of this conflict and after sharing her disbelief in the face of this war that we thought was unimaginable in Europe today, she said more about her relatives living there. “My family lives in a small town in Ukraine far from the borders and not so close to the capital. JI would not have imagined that it would affect them directly, immediately (bombings at this very moment)“she worries.
The world must realize the situation and the seriousness of what is happening
Very affected by this very serious situation, Estelle Mossely tries to alert public opinion to the danger that awaits the country of her mother’s birth. “From near or far, we are all concerned. The world needs to wake up to the situation and the seriousness of what is happening.”she concludes her long message.
A very strong message from the mother of two children, obviously very affected by what is currently happening in Ukraine and who has decided to speak out in this very difficult period.
