The first racket of Russia Daria Kasatkina shared her thoughts on the war in Ukraine unleashed by the Russian Federation.
" Since February 24, there has not been a single day that I have not read some news. I'm not directly related to this.. Minimum yes. But that's bullshit compared to what's happening.
I can’t imagine what people in Ukraine or those who have relatives there are going through. A nightmare. If there was something - that could stop it at least 1%... Without hesitation, I would do everything in my power. But unfortunately it's not possible. We have no control over what happens.. And from this there is even some feeling of powerlessness.. And who can? Europe can't even fucking.
I want to play with tennis players who can train like me, who don't have to think about bombing the courts..
I don't know what it's like when you don't have a fucking home. Not because you haven't bought it yet, but because it was taken away from you,"
The former first racket of Ukraine Oleksandr Dolgopolov commented on the anti-war statements of the Russian woman.
" I hope your compatriots will not sit silently watching you speak alone. Especially the male side," Recall that the representative of the Ukrainian doubles tennis Lyudmila Kichenok exposed the indifference of foreign colleagues to the fate of Ukraine.
