Sobolenko reacted to Oliynykova’s accusation of supporting Lukashenka

The first racket of the world Arina Sobolenko reacted to the Ukrainian woman’s accusations at a press conference Oleksandra Oliynykova in support of the Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko:

– Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliinikova mentioned you and several Russian players and said that you support your governments, and called for a ban on the participation of Russian and the best Russian players. I just wanted to give you a chance to respond to that.

– Well, I already talked a lot about it earlier. Of course, I want peace, and if I could change something, I would definitely do it. Other than that, I have nothing more to say.

– In continuation of the previous question, I respect your desire not to comment on politics, but do you consider Oliynykova’s comments yesterday, in which she mentioned you personally, unfair? Would you like to keep politics out of tennis?

– Listen, I’m here for tennis. This is a tennis event and I’ve said enough in the past that I just don’t want to talk about politics here.
