At a glance: what we know on day 340 of the invasion
Ukraine‘s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticised the idea of neutrality in sports at a time when his country’s athletes fight and die in war, while their Russian counterparts might be allowed to compete.
Redoubling his efforts in what he called “a marathon of honesty” to stop Russian athletes from taking part in the 2024 Olympics, Zelenskiy said their presence would normalise Russia’s invasion of his country, Reuters reports.
There is no such thing as neutrality when a war like this is going on. And we know how often tyrannies try to use sports for their ideological interests.
Ukrainian athletes are forced to defend the lives of their loved ones and the freedom of our people from Russian aggression.
Russian strikes took the lives of hundreds of Ukrainian men and women who could have brought their talents to world sports.
