@BenRothenberg@BenRothenberg watching this happen made me think about why tennis still allows Russian and Belarusian citizens to participate when… no other? professional sport does? Why is tennis complicit in their horrific humanitarian crimes?
Congratulations to the 19 year old 🇷🇺 rising tennis star Mirra Andreeva for winning women's Roland Garros tournament, her first Grand Slam.
It was a good game Maja Chwalinska 🇵🇱. It was quite a feat to get to the grand slam final from qualifiers.
Mirra saved the world of tennis from Ukrainian hypocrisy, xenophobic narratives, and making a spectacle of a professional tournament by politicizing the sport when she annihilated Marta Kostyuk in the semis.
May the sportsmanship prevail.
🇷🇺🤝🇵🇱
On June 2, Putin urged greater promotion of the Russian language worldwide. This is not just about education or culture. The Kremlin has long viewed language as a strategic asset for projecting influence, shaping narratives. Coincidence?
@RemiSlowinski@aaaaaaaaavnu@OlgaBazova 🤦♂️🤡
Russia has more access to the internet than the EU does, and the EU literally doesn't have access to free media. The EU literally exists behind a digital iron curtain and had criminalized the truth, so that its citizens are astoundingly ignorant, prejudiced, and brainwashed.
As Andreeva celebrated her win, a pair of fans inside Chatrier whipped out and waved a Russian flag to celebrate Andreeva’s country.
A #RolandGarros security guard quickly swooped in and had them put it away in the guy’s purse.
