The Ukrainian athlete does not understand why his Russian colleagues decided to support Putin's bloody regime.
Ukrainian skeletonist Vladislav Gerasevich expressed his opinion on Russian athletes who support the military invasion of Vladimir Putin's army into Ukraine.
“Athletes are a very powerful tool of Russian politics and propaganda, and when these people support the war, many people in Russia also start doing it.
It is impossible to believe when you see the posts of athletes you are competing with and they support the war. I understand that propaganda works, but it's crazy. To support the murder of your friends is madness.
They should be banned from performing, because the main mission of sports is to bring peace and unity to the world, not war, “Tribuna.com quoted Geraskevich as saying, citing CNN.
We will remind, practically all Russian sports appeared in isolation after the beginning of war of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
