- used her appearances at Wimbledon, Roland Garros, and other tournaments to advocate for Ukraine
- sought to unite the world’s sporting community to raise relief funds for Ukraine as an ambassador for the Ukrainian fundraising platform United24
The community meeting has been organised by the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) and the Association of Ukrainians in Victoria (AUV).
