Zelensky: Russia has killed 184 Ukrainian athletes since February

Since February, 184 Ukrainian athletes have been killed as a result of Russia's armed aggression.

“Since February, 184 Ukrainian athletes have died as a result of Russia's actions, and Russia itself uses sports for propaganda purposes,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said during a conversation with President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach.

Zelensky also called on the IOC to contribute to the restoration of Ukraine’s sports infrastructure destroyed by Russia.

“A fair response for a terrorist state can only be complete isolation in the international arena, in particular, this applies to international sports events,” the President noted.
