President Zelenskyy has called for the immediate disqualification of Russia from the 2024 Paris Olympics game in the face of the ongoing war with Ukraine.
He described the accession of Russia to participate in the Olympic game as a show of support for terrorism which has been continuously perpetuated by Russia in Ukraine.
He added that he has sent a letter to President Macron of France, to keep Russia out of participation in the games, urging them not to turn a blind eye to the atrocities of Moscow.
Zelenskyy called for total segregation of Russia to participate in international activities, saying it will be unfair to allow their participation despite the increasing terrorism in the world.
“Attempts by the International Olympic Committee to bring Russian athletes back into the Olympic Games are attempts to tell the whole world that terror is somehow acceptable.
“As if you could shut your eyes to what Russia is doing in Kherson, Kharkiv, Bakhmut, and Avdiivka,” President Zelenskyy said.
Since the beginning of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, Russia has been disqualified to participate in international activities, as they were disqualified automatically from the World Cup, and their team was suspended from European football competition.
