“Many Russians, shooters, fighters, etc. – they are all from Russian power structures. They can take part in the Olympic Games in Paris today, but kill Ukrainians tomorrow,” Oleksiy Goncharenko, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, answered a question about the participation of Belarusian and Russian athletes in the upcoming Olympic Games on TV24’s “Globuss” program.

Ukraine’s position on the participation of Belarusian and Russian athletes in the Olympic Games is clear: “We have a clear position. We believe that, first of all, the Russian flag… Let’s remember, the Olympic Games are about peace, respect and human rights, humanism. The Russian flag today is the opposite of all that. It’s like the flag of Nazi Germany.
It is covered completely with blood, not only, but, first of all, Ukrainian. Any variation of this flag cannot be in the Olympic Games.
Yes, it was banned, but they say: “There will be individual athletes.” We know perfectly well that if these athletes win something, Putin will use them for his propaganda. Therefore, I personally believe that there should be no Russian or Belarusian athletes at the Olympic Games at all, except for those who publicly declare that they are against the war and Putin.”
As a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine emphasized: “People who support war cannot participate in the Olympic Games. Many Russians, shooters, fighters, etc. – all of them are from Russian power structures. They can participate in the Olympic Games in Paris today, but kill Ukrainians tomorrow. If the IOC were to consider allowing Russia to be represented there with its own flag, we would only have to postpone the boycott of the Olympic Games. And we would also invite Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Czechs, Poles and Americans to do it – because it would violate all principles and ideas. There is no such decision today, so we are not calling for a boycott, but we are calling for the participation of Russian athletes to be limited to those who are really against the war, because it is a celebration of peace. If they are not against the war, then they have nothing to do in the celebration of peace.”
