Ukrainian Athletes React To Russian Participation In Paris Olympics 2024 Under Neutral Flag

A dozen and a half athletes from Russia will compete under a neutral flag, and Ukrainian athletes are not happy about it. A few days ago, the president of the International Olympic Committee went to the Olympic Village and held an event called "Give Peace A Chance."

He took separate photos with athletes -- from Israel, Palestine, and Afghanistan, as well as from Ukraine and Russia.

Israel is welcome, but Russia is not?
Netyahu has an ICJ arrest warrant.
Israeli athletes are in the IDF. The hypocrisy and double standards 🤢🤮

Russian Athletes should 100% be able to participate in the Olympics. It’s one of the reasons the Olympics even exists. Shame on the people who think just because their nation is at war that their athletes should be banned.

Russia can't be there but Israel can? Ridiculous.

[kotyarazuchara]

The more patriotic a Ukrainian man is, the farther he is from the frontline. Classic

[remyzandbergen]

Typical Ukraine reaction. Unjustified self pity

[LostGenerationn]

Don't mix politics with sports...🇷🇺

[IlonaBoussif-ydmz]

Peace off .
Russian athletes have right to participate in any world sport event...
Split politics from sport

[dislike]

Why does Ukraine have any competing athletes? All the young ukranians are supposed to be at the front, dying for NATO inclusion.

Russia deserves to be there and the flag should be flying

[aleksandrvasaleks]

I live in Lugansk! The Ukrainian army was killing civilians and Russia came to their defense!
God loves Russia! And what kind of god European politicians believe in, we realized when we saw the opening of the Olympic Games!

[danieljessop]

If you wanna play that game then no war mongering NATO members should be there either along with Ukraine.

[leshak]

Why don't they interview a Russian athlete?

[GabrieleEliaEsposito]

Yeah, Russia shouldn’t be there but North Korea should? Insanity

[mrk]

I dont think Ukrainians or Americans or thw French should participate either but here we go...

[edwintnt]

wow very wow... don't put politic together with sport... just imagine China don't like Philippine .. then happen China Olympic disallowed Philippine because South China sea dispute .. whole world think China very sensitive.. same here don't involve politic and sport together🤔

[peterkalasz]

Everybody should be there, they worked hard and are not responsible for their leaders.

[stRanger]

Who asked him? He’s the one that shouldn’t be there.

[irina.a.b]

It's good Russians are not part of it. Let's face it - real Olimpic games are gone. Now it's just shit

[The.david.]

I think is disgusting how the russian athletes are beeing treated . They themselves didnt start a war . This guy needs yo look in before looking out .

[tomasalejandrosanchezpadil]

Why Israel can, besides Ukrainians and Russians got prepared sp they should participate, this is sport not other thing
