Ukrainian Tennis Player Commends Russian Opponent for Anti-War Stance

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina praised her Russian opponent, Daria Kasatkina, for speaking out against the ongoing war between their countries. Svitolina defeated Kasatkina in their recent French Open match and instead of shaking hands, gave her a thumbs up. Ukrainian players have been refusing to shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players due to the war. Kasatkina called the war a "full-blown nightmare" and said the end of the conflict was what she "wanted most in life right now."
