Slava was the father of a very close friend of mine. He was a great man and incredibly brave and will be missed by all.

Ukrainian professional tennis player Viacheslav (Slava) Kurbanov, who joined Ukrainian Armed Forces as volunteer in 2022, was killed in action on August 14, 2026. On days like this, it is especially hard to accept the lifting of the ban on the Russian athletes by many federations and even IOC.
