Ukrainian tennis star Sergiy Stakhovsky was vacationing with his family in Dubai when Russian forces invaded his home country. He's made a tough decision to leave his wife and three children and join the fight in Ukraine.
He made a tough decision to leave his wife and three young children at their home in Hungary and return to his homeland to join the fight. He's now a member of the army reservists helping defend the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
As a Russian military convoy closes in on the city and dread hangs in the air, Stakhovsky, 36, says he is prepared to do whatever it takes. He told CNN's Brianna Keilar on Thursday that his goal is to help save Ukraine for its citizens and his children.
