Daria Kasatkina on the Ukrainian war
Daria Kasatkina showed all her courage and decided to speak out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The reaction of the player born in 1997 to the question she asked her in a very polite way from a local journalist went around the world. “What do I want right now? I just want the war to end.” The journalist, listening to Kasatkina’s answer, then explained to her: “Aren’t you afraid that they will take away your house after the statements you made? Hasn’t this thought crossed your mind? Aren’t you afraid that you will never be able to return to Russia, for example?” The Russian tennis player was unable to hold back the tears after the hypotheses elaborated by her interlocutor.
Kasatkina was also one of the few players to come out and go public about her relationship with Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako. She said: “Coming out was fantastic: I haven’t encountered any negative reactions, especially from people I know.
It’s a very sensitive topic. I’m very grateful, it made me feel great. Many athletes have complimented me. It’s really nice. Honestly, coming out helped me. I felt less pressure. It took a load off my shoulders. Words against the war in Ukraine? Of course I’m worried.
I have many friends in Ukraine. Listening to their stories, what they tell me… I put myself in their shoes and it’s very painful. It’s very difficult, they’ve been living in these circumstances for almost a year. I want this to end as soon as possible, but sadly it’s not up to me.” In Russia, the reaction against Kastkina’s words was very strong.
The risk is that you will be considered a foreign agent. She added: “You never know what might happen. For many people, it’s important to have the support of family and friends. It was very difficult because my friends and family couldn’t travel with me, first because of COVID and then because of the war.
It’s hard not being able to see the people I love on a regular basis. In fact, I can barely see them. I’ve been here for two years without seeing my father. He is what he is he. Unfortunately that’s life.”
