When asked by journalists what she thinks about the situation where Ukrainian athletes do not shake hands with Russian competitors and face a negative reaction, Yastremskaya replied:
“My position is not to shake hands with Russian players, and I firmly adhere to this position when I have the opportunity, I express my support for Ukraine, and I absolutely do not care what they write about me, what they think about me and what they say about me in general, I do not care.
When asked how she deals with negativity on social media, Yastremskaya stressed: “I don’t care at all, I follow my principles. If someone doesn’t like it, don’t look at it. If you like it, look at it. It’s very simple. Therefore, if I want, I shake hands, if I want, I don’t shake hands,” she said.
