Ukrainian born Maryna Zanevska shows sadness as 50 civilians killed in grocery store bombing

Belgium’s tennis player Maryna Zanevska expressed sorrow after an alleged Russian missile killed at least 50 civilians in Ukraine.

Both European countries are still engaged in an armed conflict that started back in February 2022, which has resulted in the loss of lives on both sides.

Zanevska, who was born in Ukraine, posted an emotional message on the social media platform Instagram, expressing sadness about the incident.

"Today, every time I see how Russia keeps killing Ukrainians people, I am zone out," she wrote in an Instagram story.

As per the media report, there were allegedly 60 people present in the vicinity where an alleged Russian rocket was hit.

The conflict’s impact has also been felt in the world of tennis, especially amongst the women players.

Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina refused to shake hands with the players from Russia and Belarus until the war came to an end and every Russian soldier left their neighboring country’s land.

She ended up not having a handshake with the former world number one Victoria Azarenka and the current top-ranked player Aryna Sabalenka in Wimbledon.

Svitolina remained very vocal about her stance during the event where she stated: “I already said multiple times that until Russian troops are out of Ukraine and we take back our territories, [I’m] not going to shake hands. So I have clear statement. I don’t know how more clear I can be.”
