The worst part about all of this is that Vladyslav Heraskevych didn’t break any rules, and everyone knows that, even those, who disqualified him. This isn’t even a discussion.
Fuck IOC.

That’s right - now it turns out Russia also needs “security guarantees” for itself, too.
Presumably so that the world’s largest nuclear power with the 3rd biggest war budget, the 10th largest economy, and a territory spanning 11 time zones, won’t be conquered by the evil Ukrainians.

As we approach the fourth anniversary of the full-scale war, Ukrainians still find themselves having to explain that any peace negotiations require all parties to act in good faith, and we are nowhere near that point. Russia is not interested in peace: just or otherwise.

This year, I am fortunate to be in Ukraine for its Day of Unity. One moment, I was watching children play on the frozen river, and the next, I witnessed the entire street freeze in silence as a military funeral procession passed by. This country is united, not least in its grief.
