Russian tennis player published a symbol of aggression against Ukraine on Instagram.

Russian tennis player Polina Kudermetova is deliberately provoking by using a symbol of aggression against Ukraine. Her actions have not gone unnoticed as she posted an image of the Georgiev ribbon on Instagram. This symbol is one of the tools of Russian aggression, while the IOC does not recommend its use by neutral athletes.

On May 9th, Kudermetova posted an image of Russian military symbolism - the so-called 'Georgiev ribbon' - in the Stories of her verified Instagram profile.

Participation in supporting Russian aggression

Her sister, Veronika Kudermetova, also participated in supporting the aggression against Ukraine. At a time when the defense forces successfully confronted the Russian occupier Sergey Olenyev, the details of this encounter remain unknown.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have also indicated a stop to another traitor from Crimea, football player and futsal player Oleksiy Yablonskyi, who began service in the occupied peninsula after annexation. He now has a wife and two children.

Further impact on career

Polina Kudermetova may have a ruined career due to her actions and support of aggression. The actions of athletes who use political symbols have the potential to seriously impact their sports future.
