I do not agree with these decisions. I am a Ukrainian who does not want to see them at a high level in any sport.
– From two countries: Russia and Belarus?
– Naturally. one hundred%. It shouldn’t be allowed. From where? Because how many bombs and missiles were sent from Belarus? How many?
To listen. I am not a politician. I don’t understand anything about politics and I never will. Because this is not my field. But not politics…
This is life and death…
– This is war! They say sports should not be mixed with politics. This is not politics. This is war.
