Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska shows the damage after the missile attack in Odessa

Dajana Jastremska, 26, published photos and videos of the burning building. "This is what the 'Russian world' looks like: a direct hit by the Kalibr cruise missile," wrote the tennis player.

She assessed the fact that only a tennis towel survived the attack as symbolic.

"Part of world tennis survived the Russian missile. Our house did not. Look at these photos through our eyes - this is the true meaning of your 'neutrality' from the Ukrainian perspective," she addressed to the authorities of the world federation (ITF) and the WTA women's series, referring to the issue of allowing players from Russia to play, but as neutral athletes, i.e., among others. without flags and other national symbols.

Jastremska, a semi-finalist of the Australian Open in 2024 and currently the 113th racket in the world, who was recently eliminated in the 1st round of the US Open, is not the only Ukrainian tennis player who has recently suffered as a result of Russian aggression.

During the competition in New York, Elina Svitolina announced that her club with padel courts in Kiev was seriously damaged as a result of the Russian attack.

On Saturday in Odessa, Russian missiles and drones seriously damaged several residential buildings. The region's governor, Oleg Kiper, announced that at least 35 people were injured, including a five-month-old baby, and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that a total of three people died in the latest attacks in the country.
