  3. Russia athletes should be banned from all sports competitions until
    1. Complete withdrawal of Russian troops from all occupied land.
    2. Amount and schedule of reparations agreed to be paid by Russia.
    3. All war criminals surrendered to The Hague.
    4. Russian military is severely degraded to the point they could never I invade a sovereign country.
    5. Russia agrees to quit cheating in international competition.
    Putin alone created this situation.

  4. It is evident that if Putin succeeds in Ukraine, he will likely carry out similar wars in other nations. Russian officials claim that their actions are intended to eliminate the Ukrainian infrastructure.

  5. Now there will be a bunch of Russian bots in the comments who will write that Russia should participate in the Olympics, but I'm sure that adequate people understand that Russians have no place in the civilized world. These terrorists need to be isolated!

  6. I'm glad that they followed a voice of reason and prohibited russians and belarussians to participate. I sure hope that they will do the same about Olympics in 2024. Because terrorist states should not have a place in the civilized world. They should be isolated from international events and competitions. Otherwise, just like it happened before, russians will use these platforms for the benefit of their propaganda. We cannot allow that to happen.

  7. I think this is really sick. Athletes are not politicians or generals and don’t necessarily carry any opinion on the matter. This is done only so we can feel superior. No one banned American athletes after the invasion of Iraq.

  8. I believe that the participation of Russians in any competition should not even be discussed. Russia needs to be completely isolated while they commit all these atrocities and their war criminals are still not punished

  9. Ukraine is fighting for the whole world against the terrorist tyrant Russia, and therefore, assistance to Ukraine should be increased so that Putin's regime is overthrown
