Ukrainian ex-tennis player supported the removal of the Russians from Wimbledon.
Former Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandr Dolgopolov accused of lying Andriy Rublev's racket from Russia.
Rublev criticized the organizers of Wimbledon for banning players from Russia and Belarus, and said he did not read the news, so he knows nothing about the war in Ukraine.
“Rublev's statement is a perfect example of why the LTA made the absolutely right decision. He does what his president and Russian propaganda do every day – he lies!” I don't know anything, I don't read the news, I don't I'm lying. I'm not educated. “Lie.
Rublev played a pair with a Ukrainian 10 days before the Great War, he can talk to any Ukrainian in tournaments. And so, of course, he knows everything – given to what he wrote on camera in the early days of the war.
We did not understand then whether this meant that Ukraine should surrender, and we hoped that he would explain. But, of course, he said nothing more. Andrew, do you want to know what's going on? Sing one word – “Bucha”. And, of course, you have my contacts – ask, I'll show everything.
Your country organized the genocide in Ukraine. This was confirmed by the leaders of the United States and Canada, Latvia and Estonia have already enshrined this in law. Others will follow their example. And after the stories that he knows nothing, that he is blind and uneducated, he begins to explain that it will not help, to talk about discrimination and democracy.
For a second, we thought you were uneducated, not do you understand politics, don't you know such clever words? If you do not know anything and do not follow, then why are you ready to give the prize? And what families and children do you want to help? Families of Russian soldiers? I'm sure they also suffered. Speak more accurately and try to tell the truth.
Do you want to be the first in sports to donate? Not work. Roger Federer has already donated $ 500,000, the Jets – a million dollars, Beckham – a million pounds, the Premier League – a million pounds, Real Madrid – a million dollars, NASCAR – a million rounds. And this list goes on and on.
So please, it's better to just say nothing than to try to lie, as your government does, just to save your normal life. Because here your country is raping children and women en masse, shooting people in the back of the head and behaving like barbarians.
Unfortunately, your language is full of hypocrisy and lies. The ATP and WTA should not cover such behavior. If Russians and Belarusians want to speak, tell the truth, not lies. Thank you all over the world for your support. I hug from Kyiv, Ukraine “, – quotes Dolgopolova Sport.ua with reference to Twitter of the ex-tennis player.
