Threatening state security: Tennis player from Russian Zvonarev was not allowed to a tournament in Poland

Vera Zvonaryova tried to get to Warsaw for a visa published in France. However, the border guards refused her as a person who supports political regimes in Russia and Belarus. Border guards in Poland did not enter the Russian tennis player Vira Zvonaryov, who was previously known for his loyalty to Vladimir Putin. Information that athletes were banned from crossing the border appeared on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland.

Zvonareva came to Poland on July 21 on a visa published in France. To do this, the Russian was used by Belgrade-Warsaw. However, she was banned from leaving Chopin Airport. It turned out that Zvonaryova is on the list of persons whose stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland is undesirable. It is included in anyone who can in one way or another threaten public order in the country and state security.

The athlete was included in this list because she publicly supported Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. "Poland consistently opposes Putin and Lukashenko's regimes, refusing to enter our country for people who support Russia and Belarus actions," - said in a message from the profile ministry of the country. After she was refused entry into the country, Zvonarev waited a flight to Podgorica and flew to Montenegro.

It should be noted that in Poland the tennis player was to take part in the WTA tournament. We will remind, in March 2023 it became known that Poland intends to send Russian diplomats suspected of espionage. The country's internal security agency has prepared a list of 45 employees of the Russian diploma to be exiled. In September 2022, the concert of the founder of Pink Floyd Roger Waters for words about Ukraine was canceled in Poland.
