Kostyuk explains why he won’t shake hands with tennis players from Russia and Belarus
Ukrainian tennis player Martha Kostyuk He explained why he would not shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players who do not condemn Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
“I haven’t changed my mind about the war and everything that happens on tour. Because only people who say they don’t want war speak like us. [Украина] We want war. Frankly, we don’t want war either.
I believe in someone who speaks clearly [по поводу российской агрессии]He’s entitled to be on tour, but someone who isn’t… I don’t think it’s just human.
I’m not with anyone in particular [из игроков из рф и рб] ‘I don’t say hello to them,’ Martha said.
Kostyuk is also confident that Ukraine will eventually win.
“I don’t think we would have a chance if we didn’t believe it. It just takes time and unfortunately there are a lot of casualties and deaths, including the civilian population,” he said.
