I feel like Ukraine would be better served if @Wimbledon donated their entire profit in support aid instead of banning the Russian and Belarusian players.

John Millman shared his thoughts about Wimbledon's decision and Marta Kostyuk opted to engage with him on social media.
Upon learning about Wimbledon’s decision of banning Russian players, Millman took to his Twitter account, putting forward his views on the decision. The 32-year-old asserted that it would be better if Wimbledon donated their profit from this year’s tournament to aid Ukraine financially than banning Russian players. He said:
“I feel like Ukraine would be better served if Wimbledon donated their entire profit in support aid instead of banning the Russian and Belarusian players.”
Marta Kostyuk opted to reply to his comment saying:
“John Millman Ukraine needs peace and freedom that we are dying for right now. Not money. Anyone who thinks that decision like this one is targeting players personally is pretty selfish. Players are great part of propaganda and big example to their fans. Silence is a betrayal.”
He responded with some warm words:
“Hey Marta Kostyuk, Maybe I could have gotten my message across more clearly. I’m in total support of Ukraine and its people. I just feel like Wimbledon is doing this more for their own gain, for good optics rather than to actually help. I pray for your family.”
