Aryna Sabalenka Condemns Belarus' Role in Ukraine War

Belarusian Tennis Star Speaks Out

Belarussian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has strongly condemned her country's role in the ongoing war in Ukraine, becoming one of the most prominent Belarusians to speak out against the invasion.

In a statement released on her social media accounts, Sabalenka expressed her disapproval of Belarus' involvement in the conflict and called for an end to the war.

"I am heartbroken and deeply concerned about the situation in Ukraine," Sabalenka said. "I want to express my strongest condemnation of the violence and aggression that is being inflicted upon the Ukrainian people. "

Sabalenka's stance is significant as Belarus has been a key ally of Russia in the war. The country has allowed Russian troops to use its territory as a staging ground for attacks on Ukraine and has provided logistical support to the invasion.
