About five months after Daria Kasatkina‘s confession, Roman Teryushkov launched a clear accusation and pointed the finger at the current WTA number eight. Teryushkov is currently a member of the 8th State Duma and one of Russia’s top officials.

Teryushkov explained, sending a clear message: “Using your fame as a tool to influence others on political and ideological issues, you must be prepared to receive not only support from fans but also accountability measures towards the state.

Kasatkina, Khachanov, Kafelnikov openly criticize the actions of the Russian authorities, permanently reside outside the territory of the Russian Federation and act in a neutral state showing the whole world distance from Russian society.

Their actions fall under the law on foreign agents.” In Russia, in fact, all persons considered foreign agents are subject to strict control requirements, cannot take advantage of state funding and could also undergo measures from the point of view of travel.

The player born in 1997 was not afraid to answer bluntly one of the most delicate questions. The journalist, listening to Kasatkina’s answer, then explained to her: “What do you want right now? I just want the war to end.

Aren’t you afraid that they will take away your house after the statements you made? Didn’t this thought cross your mind? Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to go back to Russia, for example?” The Russian tennis player was unable to hold back the tears after the hypotheses elaborated by her interlocutor and thrilled the world of sport.
