Man of Svitolina gave an interview to Russian propagandists.

The husband of Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina, Gael Monfils, gave an interview to the Russian propaganda channel 'Bol'shoye'. He commented on his victory at the Masters in Madrid, where he defeated Croatian Borna Gojo. In his conversation, Monfils also expressed his anticipation for his next match against Russian Andrey Rublev.

Monfils noted that he is looking forward to his next match - against Russian Andrey Rublev.

It is also worth mentioning that the channel 'Bol'shoye' is a Russian propaganda resource that previously actively covered the propaganda tournament 'Trophies of the Northern Palmira', which took place in the Russian Federation. The tournament director considered it part of sports diplomacy, which would help facilitate the return of international competitions.

'I am confident that historical truth will prevail, peace will come. It will be a just peace, where there will definitely be a place for sports,' the tournament director stated.

The tournament is also supported by the authorities of Saint Petersburg, and Vice-Governor Boris Piotrovsky actively participates in the tournament events. In 2023, he stated that this tournament is about the future of the country and world sports. He also emphasized that sports easily adapt to new realities.

It was noted that the channel 'Bol'shoye' interviewed not only Monfils but also Russian tennis players who supported the war. Gael Monfils is a 38-year-old Frenchman who is married to Elina Svitolina and has won 13 ATP tournaments in his career.

It is worth noting that Elina Svitolina's call for the return of Ukrainian children who were abducted by Russia is very important and relevant.
