In an open communication with the media, Sobolenko was asked:

Earlier this week, you talked about asking the organization for some clarity on the handshake after matches. Have you heard anything from any organization or other players since then?

“The players understand everything. I saw the tweet yesterday. They made this statement, it’s a really good explanation. I think people should also know what’s going on and why there isn’t a handshake between Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian players.

Good to have this explanation. I hope no one gets such a reaction from fans.
