Russian pentathlete Maxim Kuznetsov is facing backlash after it was revealed that he had liked social media posts in support of Russia's attack on Ukraine. Kuznetsov had liked several posts from the CSKA team's page that contained the letter "Z," which has become a symbol of support for the Russian invasion.

Kuznetsov's actions have drawn criticism from fans and fellow athletes, with many calling for him to be punished for his support of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.
