Ukrainian Tennis Federation responds to government's ban on participation in tournaments with Russians and Belarusians
The Ukrainian Tennis Federation has stated that it respects the position of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and will follow the order of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, which prohibits sending official delegations to competitions involving representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The only tennis tournaments where Ukrainians will play are the Davis Cup, the Billie Jean King Cup, as well as the European Winter and Summer Team Cups and the European Individual Championships.
"Currently, representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are not scheduled to participate in these competitions," the FTU press service said.
