Previously, they asked him to talk about his attitude to a special military operation in Ukraine, as well as to talk about a letter signed in 2020 in support of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

“Sobolenko was bombarded with questions about Ukraine and the role of Belarus. She clearly felt that she had had enough. In my opinion, it is her right. Yes, the press can ask questions, and Arina has the right not to respond if she does not want to.

Yes, communication with the media is important for the development of sport and contact with supporters. But it takes a fine balance,” Pegula wrote in her BBC column.
