My name is Oleksandra Oliynykova. I am a professional tennis player from Ukraine — a WTA 125 and ITF title winner, and a Grand Slam participant. You may know me from tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, or other events around the world.
While I compete on world courts, my country is in its fourth year of full-scale war. Since 2022, russia has been waging a brutal invasion against Ukraine — destroying cities, terrorising civilians, and trying to erase our freedom.
Among those who defend Ukraine is my father. He serves in the 412th Separate Brigade of Unmanned Systems “NEMESIS”, one of the most advanced drone units in the Ukrainian Defence Forces. His combat team works every day to stop russian attacks and protect Ukrainian cities and villages.
Drones4UA.org is how I connect my tennis world with his frontline reality. Together with friends and supporters, we raise funds for mission-critical equipment that helps his unit see further, react faster, and come home alive.
When I carry the NEMESIS flag at Wimbledon or the US Open, I am not just showing a logo — I am showing the community that stands behind them. This project is our way to turn that support into real impact.
I invite you to stand with us — for Ukraine, for freedom, and for a just peace.
