Oleksandra Oliynykova made a powerful statement in defense of Ukraine, criticizing the attitude of Russian tennis players, whose common stance is to remain silent on the war.

"These players are part of the propaganda. By staying silent, they are supporting the regime. Many actively participate in propaganda through social media or by playing in tournaments linked to Gazprom. Some are direct active followers of Putin. Not enough is being said about these issues, and in the meantime, atrocities continue to happen. These individuals help normalize aggression against Ukraine for many Russian citizens. People see their favorite tennis players, famous players with a lot of money and influence, and that ends up being used as propaganda as well. We are talking about people with high public visibility and a lot of power of influence. All the money, advertising, and platform they receive here can later be used to support precisely the horrible things that are happening."

❗️"Many players are actively involved in Russian propaganda. Through their activity on social media, participation in the Gazprom tournament. And they are active supporters of Putin."
