Ukraine tennis star Sergiy Stakhovsky has vowed to fight Russia as the battle has now reached the capital city of Kyiv.

Mr. Stakhovsky, who reached a world ranking of 31, admitted he has no previous military experience but feels obligated to help defend his country during this turbulent time.

Stakhovsky told Sky News: “I don’t have military experience but I do have gun experience privately. I don’t see the reason why the majority of our countrymen have to risk their lives to send their families away while I sit back.”
