Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko very happy for Arina Sobolenkowho won the Australian Open 2023.
Sobolenko is a native of Minsk, and at the Australian Major she performed under the white flag.
After her victory, Lukashenka, together with Belarusian businessman Sergei Teterin, rolled up 50 g of vodka. In the frame, in addition to the cockroach and his friend, there was also a spitz.
Interestingly, after a successful performance at AO 2023, Arina said in an interview that she was not going to return to RB, because she lives in Miami.
Also, Belarusian television was noted for an interesting act. The TV channel Belarus 5 pirated the semi-final matches and the final, although this season it does not show WTA tournaments and did not broadcast the matches of the previous rounds of the Australian Open either.
