27-year-old Nadja Karpova has been playing soccer in the Spanish league since 2017. Now for Espanyol.
After Russia went to war against Ukraine in February this year, it has repeatedly criticized its home country and President Vladimir Putin.
Recently, Putin met with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko. There, the Belarusian president made a seemingly sarcastic, but sensational statement.
Breeds: – Scum
– The two of us started off aggressive. We are the most destructive and toxic people on this planet. We only disagree on one thing: which of us is the worst? Vladimir Vladimirovich says it’s me. I’m starting to think it’s him. Well, we decided that we are just as bad, Lukashenko said, according to Dagbladet’s translation.
Putin was sitting about five feet from Lukashenko when the words fell out. Lukashenko repeatedly glanced at Putin, and Putin nodded and smiled approvingly when Lukashenko said Putin says he is the worst.

– Garbage
This made Russian Karpova react strongly.
– You’re trash. You are still judged. You’re not just toxic. You are a fascist we don’t need in this world. I hope you get what you deserve, Karpova wrote in an Instagram story to her 143,000 followers, according to Newsweek.
Belarusian expert Arve Hansen of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee considers Lukashenko’s statement an attempt at sarcasm.
– From time to time, Lukashenko tries to be funny in his speeches, but usually he is not very successful. Because if there’s one thing dictators don’t have, it’s humor. Putin himself sometimes tries to be funny, but as a rule it is perceived only as rudeness, Hansen tells Dagbladet.
Break with Norway
– Important
Karpova, who hasn’t played an international match for Russia since 2019, is also one of the few Russian athletes who has been open about her weirdness.
This summer, Russia’s top-ranked tennis player Darja Kasatkina came out as a lesbian and at the same time criticized Russia’s treatment of LGBT+ people. At that time, she also thanked Karpova.
– Not only did Nadja help herself come out and release the burden she was carrying. You have also helped many others. I think it’s important for influential professionals to be open. She helps young people in society, Kasatkina said according to the report Sky News.
