Svitolina admitted that she did not understand this decision.
“I don’t understand this ban. The Ministry of Sports has already spoken about tennis, as if the current events were due to it.”
With this ban, we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Our athletes cannot compete and represent the country. Russians and Belarusians are increasingly returning to tournaments. I feel sorry for our athletes. The Ministry of Sports leaves no choice in publishing this decree.
Svitolina told how she relates to the scandal around the match between Kostyuk and Sobolenko
It is better to go out and defeat the Russians and Belarusians in the sports arena. It would be fair,” Svitolina said citing ua.tribuna.com.
