“I fully support them. The IOC betrayed the Olympic principles and turned into an instrument of political revenge,” the press service of the head of the Republic of Crimea quotes Aksenov as saying.

He noted that he does not understand those who are rushing to the Olympic Games.

Let us remind you that the IOC allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Olympics in a neutral status. Those who have qualified in their sports will qualify for the Games. Athletes should not support the SVO or be associated with military departments.

The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.

Earlier, Zhurova said that it is beneficial for the West that Russia does not come to the Olympics.
