"Why shout about the war at every corner": Belarusian tennis player about prohibitions for the Russian Federation and RB

According to the fifth racket of the world, Arina Sobolenko, athletes demand to make loud statements about the war. But the ban on the involvement of Russians and Belarussians has not changed anything - the war is ongoing. Arina Sobolenko, a tennis star from Belarus, stated that the decision of the organizers of Wimbledon to remove Belarusian players from participation in last year's tournament "nothing changed," Sky News reports.

According to the fifth racket of the world, "no one supports the war", and the decision of the organizers of Wimbledon "was very disappointed". In the summer, the organizers of the oldest tennis tournament were forbidden to participate in it athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. According to 24-year-old Sobolenko, "it is really terrible because no one also supports the war.

" The tennis player claims that athletes require loud statements about the war. "But why do we scream at every corner? It won't help at all," the tennis player said. "They removed us from Wimbledon, and what has changed? Nothing - everything is ongoing, and that's the saddest thing. " Last month, the Association of Tennis Personalists (ATP) fined the UK Lunis Association by £ 820,000 ($ 987,854) for its ban on participating in the Russian and Belarusian tennis tournament.

Russian athletes did not participate in Wimbledon as representatives of the aggressor country, but Belarusian because the authorities of Belarus allows the use of the country as a bridgehead for military maneuvers. Recall that in Brazil began a farewell to the legendary Pele. The farewell ceremony will last for a day, then the coffin with the body of the exfusbolist will be carried past his mother's house and buried in the cemetery of the Memorial Necropole Ecumenica.
