"Ohhh, what a mudslinger. Humanity should be present in war and in sports, you can't mix them! If Shakhtar beat Kryvbas, they deserved it, so take the loss with dignity, and don't beat your chest about what heroes you are and what 'whiny Shakhtar players' are! And I, as a footballer's wife, really know their timing..." Pyatova wrote on her Instagram page.
