In the Divizia A1 stages, she was named MVP, demonstrating consistency and significant offensive impact, and the club announced the extension of her contract, recognizing her as one of the best players of the season. On a personal level, Aliona Martiniuc has a large part of her family in Ukraine, close to the front line, and is deeply affected by the war, living daily in fear for the safety of her relatives.
