According to the athlete, the condemnation further fuels the conflict and violates the basic principle of the sport.Questions about Prikhodko’s political stance arose after joint speeches with Russian Yan Bondarevsky last year.

Thus, we begin to organize a war on the field and beyond, forgetting the basic principle of sports, ”quotes the Prikhodko portal “Great Tennis of Ukraine” .Prikhodko also said that the Ukrainian Tennis Federation recommended that he refuse to play with the Russian. But since the athlete has his own opinions, he did what he saw fit. According to him, he would not blindly follow party policy, reports TR .
