Athletistic/Tennis. The Ukrainian Tennis Federation (UFT) issued a statement to the National Olympic Committee (NOC) asking not to ban Ukrainian athletes from playing with Russians and Belarusians in international tournaments.

“With this appeal, we express a common position regarding the possible decision of the NOC on a complete boycott by the players of all international tournaments where Russians or Belarusians play.
Such a decision will lead to the destruction of Ukrainian tennis, since players from these countries participate in almost all competitions.
Such a decision would be a sanction not against the Russians and the Belarusians, but against the Ukrainians, each at his level promoting a pro-Ukrainian position in all the corners of the world where they evolve.
If Russians and Belarusians are allowed to compete, you should play with them and win, not avoid battle,” FTU said in a statement posted on the organization’s official website.
