War in Ukraine: “I saw the war with my own eyes, I heard it”, says Dayana Yastremska

“After playing in Dubai last week, we decided to go home for a few days because I had a small leg injury. I also wanted to spend time with my family. We had plane tickets to Lyon, France, where I had received an invitation. We were supposed to leave on February 24. It was then that Odessa was bombed. The explosions were appalling. We hid in the underground parking lot of our building and waited. We also spent the following night there. It was really scary. At that time, it was no longer possible to fly: Ukraine had completely closed its airspace. The war had begun (she pauses). This war, I saw it with my own eyes. I heard her. I saw how terrifying she was. When I saw the missiles explode, it was chilling. You don’t know where they’ll fall, you don’t know what to do, everyone panics and tries to hide in the basement to survive. There were a lot of children, single women… It’s so unreal!
