Belarusian opposition figure Latushka, an ally of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, condemned a Belarusian athlete for insulting a Ukrainian opponent, calling her a disgrace to the Belarusian people. He said she should be banned from all WTA-sanctioned tournaments. Latushka said the response was the only proportionate one and framed the conduct as complacency toward Russia's war against Ukraine. The Kyiv Independent reported the remarks on November 14, 2026.
