Ukraine ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko told the French news agency AFP: “Djokovic’s father should lose his accreditation. Novak and his team must deal with this and fix it.”
Excuses
In addition, Myroshnychenko wants an apology from Srdjan Djokovic, Novak’s father, and believes that the tennis player’s father should condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Pro-Russian Youtube account
The images Myroshnychenko falls over appeared on a pro-Russian YouTube account in Australia. The images show how Srdjan takes a picture with a man holding a Russian flag.
This flag features the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The caption to the video reads: “Bold political statement from Djokovic’s father.”
