Russian athlete Dmitry Tarabin is facing backlash after liking social media posts that support Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The posts in question were made by the CSKA team and specifically addressed the Russia's war in Ukraine, using the controversial "Z" symbol as a sign of support for Russia's invasion.

Many people have expressed disappointment that a professional athlete like Tarabin would use his platform to support a political agenda that has caused harm and suffering.
