It was previously mentioned that after the announcement of the IOC decisions on the so-called “neutral athletes at the Olympics” in relation to athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus, a global discussion began, in which the Olympic Committees, officials from different countries categorically spoke out against any participation of Russian athletes in Olympic events.
In addition, as our Association pointed out to the IOC, the concept of “neutral athletes”, if it is preserved, among other things, requires mandatory verification of “athletes” from Russia for their possible illegal visits to the occupied Crimea and criminal support for its occupation.
Realizing that in this situation, any development of events for the aggressor would be humiliating, his puppets immediately began to play a tragicomic approach regarding the 2024 Olympics in style “we didn’t really wanted to”.
As the criminal Russian invaders” “Minister of sports” from Kaluga Olga Torubarova stated, her fake department “supports the position of a possible boycott of the Olympics” by aggressor, while she called “performance under a neutral flag” “unacceptable” and stated that “the interests of one person can never stand above interests of the country”, which is “unacceptable to represent” the aggressor “without the flag and anthem – the main symbols of the state”.
Having disseminated these illegal and essentially Nazi theses, the invaders’ propaganda the “strengthened” them with the statements of the Crimean collaborator Tatyana Yakibchuk, who stated that “I have nothing to do with a neutral status.”
However, these aggressor’s propaganda statements may also be a cover for illegal attempts to send those “Crimean athletes” to the Olympics, in particular, as allegedly “neutral” and, if they are allowed, to use them again in the Kremlin’s criminal information activities.
Since it was not in vain that propaganda also spread the statements of collaborator-athlete Vera Markaryan (Rebrik) from Yalta, who “would not mind competing at the 2024 Olympics under a neutral status”, since “the whole world already knows that” aggressor state “performs under a neutral status only”.
