The world was recently thrown into crisis as the Vladimir Putin-led Russian government launched a military operation in Ukraine this week, with the move threatening to have bigger consequences around the world. Notable players such as Andrey Rublev, Sloane Stephens and Daniil Medvedev spoke on the matter and Dayana Yastremska shared her personal traumatic experience.

There have been widespread criticisms of the move by Putin to invade Ukraine, as war is never the option. Whichever country wins the battle, it’s the common people who lose the war. The potential war would not only affect the two countries but potentially the whole week world in some form or the other.

The Ukrainian revealed in a recent interview that he had reached out to the Big 3 for help regarding the situation in his country. Only Novak Djokovic has responded to Stakhovsky’s messages, offering unconditional support, including financial aid.

Following this, Federer and Nadal received a lot of flak for their stance. But it now appears that the 20-time Major champion has indeed been working for the Ukrainians behind the scenes. In a recent interview with 20min, Stakhovsky revealed that the Swiss maestro had finally responded to the help request.

The Ukrainian legend revealed that Federer hoped that peace would be restored soon. He also revealed that the Swiss and his wife’s foundation Mirka’s foundation have been working in the background and are searching for options to help the people of Ukraine.

“Roger Federer wishes that there would be peace soon. He and (his wife) Mirka’s foundation are looking for ways to help the children in Ukraine and also to look after some in Switzerland,” said Stakhovsky.
