Dayana Yastremska about Anastasia Hasanova’s wars: “A complete lie”

Dayana said she was left speechless after first hearing the Russian’s claims and confronted her in the locker room, where Hasanova told her she supported her comments about Ukraine.

“We met in the locker room. My impressions… I just don’t have words. It is not normal. I showed her the video and asked, “Do you really believe that?” She told me that yes, that was her position.

He told me that he was angry because he felt sorry for the people who died on the bridge in Crimea, and Ukrainians laughed at it.

I told him that the people were happy because the illegally built bridge was being used to supply the Russian army with tanks and rockets, with which they continued to kill us.

I asked her if she felt sorry for our children who died in Mariupol, Buch, Kharkiv… and from that moment there was nothing more to talk about, I told her that she could go to war with the Russians.

She said that she could be shot in Odessa for speaking Russian. This is a lie. Odesa is my hometown, I have lived there all my life. Most citizens speak Russian, and no one has ever had a problem with it. This is a complete lie and nonsense created to justify the Russian invasion,” – Diana Yastremskaquoted by UKR Tennis.

Dayana Yastremska demands to suspend Anastasia Hasanova from the tournament in Rouen

At the “WTA 125” tournament in Rouen, in the first round of doubles, sisters Diana and Ivanna Yastremski were supposed to play against the team of Anastasiya Hasanov/Anastasiya Komardin, but the Ukrainian said that she would ask the Russian to be banned.

“I want to approach the director of the tournament and show him a video where Hasanova expresses her political views. In my opinion, he should be suspended from the tournament after such statements, because he again and again justifies Russia’s invasion of Ukraine” – Diana Yastremska.
