Ukraine is attempting to exert pressure on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) by including Russian athletes on the terrorist website Mirotvorets. This was reported on October 1 by Svetlana Zhurova, an Olympic speed skating champion and member of the State Duma.
“Now they’ve learned that the International Ski Federation is considering admitting athletes, so they’ve added Bolshunov to the Peacemaker list. They’re trying to pressure the IOC this way and block our return,” she stated in a conversation with TASS.
