Oleksandra Oliynykova pulls out her phone mid-press conference at Roland Garros and shows photos of Diana Shnaider playing in the Gazprom tournament, ‘I think it's the same as playing in Nazi Germany in front of Gestapo officers in the tournament organized by a company which built Auschwitz’
"What's serious here is the fact that this match is going to happen. Diana Shnaider is a person who participated in a Gazprom tournament.
If you want to see. This is her in the picture at the Gazprom tournament.
The Gazprom tournament is a company that's financing the war crimes. Playing in a tournament which is financing the camps for kids, I think it's the same as playing in Nazi Germany in front of Gestapo officers in the tournament organized by a company which built Auschwitz. There's no difference to me.
The thing is, everyone is silent about what this person did. She also put likes on the publications of Russian propagandists.
Here are some screenshots. I can send it to you later if you want to this. I'm someone who is suffering just by being at home. My home is being attacked by Gazprom money. They are paying for this, for the drones which are attacking my city.
And tomorrow people will make a show of this. So is it really important who will hit a harder forehand tomorrow or the fact that we're ignoring things like this here."
They face each other next in the 3rd round of Roland Garros.

@TulsaDrillers Imagine bringing back discrimination on the night you honor Jackie Robinson. At least the cowardly lion-Kendall George isn't playing. #freebatdog
