Oscar Galimardanov, a Russian tennis player, is facing criticism for his social media activity showing support for Russia's attack on Ukraine. Galimardanov has been actively liking and reposting content that promotes the military aggression on his social media platforms. This includes posts by propagandist Margarita Simonyan, expressing pride in being Russian, as well as reposts that endorse the policies of Vladimir Putin and mock Ukraine and its government.

His public display of support for the Russian attack and alignment with the political agenda of Vladimir Putin has sparked outrage and controversy. Galimardanov's actions have reignited debates about the responsibilities of athletes as public figures and the role they play in shaping public opinion. This incident underscores the fine line between expressing personal beliefs and potentially inciting war through social media platforms.
