The Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka has said that she does not support Alexander Lukashenko, following her French Open quarter-final win against Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina. “I don’t support war, meaning I don’t support Lukashenko right now,” Sabalenka said when asked if she supported the Belarus dictator. Sabalenka has previously skipped press conferences after being questioned by a Ukrainian journalist on her stance on the war in Ukraine and her links with Lukashenko.
