Wimbledon lifts ban on Russian and Belarusian players

“Wimbledon’s decision to permit the participation of Russian and Belarusian players is immoral. Has Russia ceased its aggression or atrocities? No, it’s just that Wimbledon decided to accommodate two accomplices in crime,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter.

“I call on the UK government to deny visas to their players.”
