The Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska revealed images of her family's apartment in Odessa, which was destroyed by a Kalibr missile. The photographs show the damage caused by the attack, including a towel that, according to the athlete, survived the impact.
Yastremska used social media to show the destruction and hold the WTA and ITF accountable for their position of neutrality regarding the conflict in Ukraine. The player has been a vocal critic of the lack of action by tennis federations regarding the Russian invasion.
The athlete has represented Ukraine in international tournaments since the beginning of the war, continuing to compete on the professional circuit while her country faces Russian aggression. The attack on the family apartment underscores the direct impact of the conflict on the lives of Ukrainian athletes.
Yastremska's position comes at a time when several Ukrainian athletes have been pressuring international sports organizations to adopt stronger measures against Russia and its allies.
