Dziuba responded tonight (Wednesday) on his personal Instagram account and wrote: "Until recently, I did not want to comment at all on the events in Ukraine.

He added: "I have an opinion and since I was drawn to this issue, I will express it - I am against any war. War is a scary thing, but I am also against bullying and hatred, which is gaining momentum with each passing day. I am not afraid because I am Russian, I am proud to be Russian, and I do not understand why athletes should suffer now.I am against double standards.Why at any other time everyone calls for avoiding politics, but when it comes to Russia this principle is completely abandoned? I understand I loathe the war, but all these negative feelings fall on Russian citizens "Regardless of who they are and what their position is."
