Swiatek continues to draw attention to Ukraine plight in Qatar Open winners interview: "I feel like we all have really short memories"

Iga Swiatek won the Qatar Open and she took the opportunity to once again mention the War in Ukraine urging everybody to support people in Ukraine.
Swiatek has been very active since the start of the War staging a charity event in Poland. She's also been wearing Ukraine colours in every match and promised to continue doing that until the situation gets resolved. As we approach the one-year anniversary since the start of the war, Swiatek once again urged people to help:
"When I sat there I had a throwback to last year basically and this is the first tournament that I had a chance to like make a speech since the war started in Ukraine. I feel like we all have really I don’t know short memories. But we should also support Ukrainians in everything that they are coping with everyday. It’s pretty disappointing that the situation is not changing but hopefully they will stay strong."

"Congrats @iga_swaitek. One day you will understand, that you stood up against the evil of our days and it will make you proud not less than tennis results. We hear your voice and be sure, russia will not approach Polands borders from our side!."
