Brooklyn Decker, the wife of Major champion Andy Roddick, has taken to social media to comment on US politics. In a surprising development, the US has voted against a United Nations resolution on the Ukraine war, effectively siding with Russia. Then, after European nations proposed several amendments, the US abstained.

On the original vote, 93 votes were in favor, 73 abstained, and eight (including the US and Russia) voted no. The new Trump administration has all but reversed the US position on Ukraine, going as far as to blame the Ukrainians for starting the war. Donald Trump has labeled Ukrainian President Zelenskyy a "dictator" and threatened to withdraw US financial support.

Generally, Andy Roddick and his wife Brooklyn Decker have avoided controversial statements on social media. However, once Decker criticized the new government's executive order to bring back plastic straws, calling it "stupid." In light of the UN controversy, Decker took to her Instagram to post an image of Ukrainian colors, accompanied by the caption:

Andy Roddick is a former World No. 1, who captured 32 ATP singles tour titles over a 15-year career. His biggest achievement was the 2003 US Open where he beat Juan Carlos Ferrero. Unfortunately for Roddick, his time at the top of the game coincided with legend Roger Federer at his best, and he lost in four other Grand Slam finals to the extraordinary Swiss maestro.
