This was two days after she made critical comments about Shnaider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that some people disagree with my actions. I know that some people would prefer that I stay silent. But what I do is not about politics, it\u2019s about humanity,\u201d Oliynykova said. \u201cWhen people are being killed, while children are dying, when violence is justified or celebrated, we cannot pretend that nothing is happening. We cannot look away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oliynykova added that it was impossible to talk about this with Russian players on the women\u2019s tour because, she said, they \u201chave these horrible beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Thursday, ahead of their third-round match, she accused Shnaider of liking Russian propaganda posts on social media and vehemently criticized her for playing in a Gazprom-sponsored exhibition tournament in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Oliynykova called Gazprom a company which has been \u201cfinancing the war crimes,\u201d and added that \u201cmy home is being attacked by Gazprom money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Saturday\u2019s match, the No. 25-seeded Shnaider said she had not been aware of Oliynykova\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=1926\">Tim Ream will be the US captain at the World Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t heard anything.

I\u2019m not seeing my family or my friends,\u201d she said. \u201cI have only one opportunity to play in front of my family, in front of my friends, just to spend a little more time at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Kostyuk\u2019s tears<\/h3>\n<p>After her first-round win, Marta Kostyuk fought back tears when she described how she found out on the morning of the match that a missile almost hit her parents\u2019 home in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Kostyuk said she was feeling exhausted after speaking out against the war for so long, but would continue being outspoken and stating her opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Oliynykova said she has no choice but to continue speaking out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis war, it defines my life, because my future is in Ukraine,\u201d she said. \u201cMy father, he\u2019s coming back to the army.
