The Ukrainian tennis player believes that in conditions of the Kremlin’s military aggression, there can be no equality in sport.
Russian and Belarusian athletes must be excluded from all competitions. Ukraine’s first racket Elina Svitolina said it again.
In an interview with the powerful British publication The Telegraf, he said that in the conditions of the war unleashed by Moscow, there could be no question about any equality in sport, as Ukrainians had nowhere to train.
In addition, the tennis player once again accused Russian athletes of tacit support for Russia’s invasion of our country.
“Most tennis players live outside of Russia, training in Europe and the United States. This is their decision. Many players don’t even come to us to ask how our family is, how things are going. This, of course, creates tension.
Our Ukrainians are dying on their land, we have lost our homes, we have lost our training bases, all our families are in danger. We are not equal here. Sport is a big responsibility, a lot of media attention is focused on it, it helps people understand what is really going on. Now this is my mission, ”Svitolina said.
