Попри відсутність світла, вдома - найкраще ❤️‍🩹 Despite the blackouts, home is still the best place ❤️‍🩹 Щотижня дедалі більше російських атлетів повертаються на міжнародні арени, тоді як українці продовжують жити в умовах гуманітарної катастрофи, спричиненої російськими обстрілами. Коли МОК підіграє російській пропаганді, він фактично стає співучасником цих злочинів. Підтримуйте Україну в її прагненні жити. ____ Each week, more and more Russian athletes return to international arenas, while Ukrainians continue to live through a humanitarian catastrophe caused by Russian shelling. When the IOC plays along with Russian propaganda, it effectively becomes complicit in these crimes. Support Ukraine in its right to live.

🚨VLADYSLAV HERASKEVYCH: THERE WERE MANY RUSSIAN FLAGS IN THE STANDS AND ON A RUSSIAN ATHLETE’S HELMET, BUT THEY RECEIVED NO SANCTIONS AND WERE NOT DISQUALIFIED, DESPITE CLEAR VIOLATIONS OF IOC RULES — THIS PLAYS INTO RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA "This Olympic Games so far, we saw a lot of Russian flags on the tribunes. Fans use it a lot. Also, we saw Russian flag on the helmet of the one of the athletes on the venue. And I told her that I'm forced to also look on the Russian media because it makes big impact in my country. And I saw that they meet this news about Russian flags in a very... They were very grateful for that. They were stating that they're happy to see Russian flag back to Olympics. Despite fact of the violation of IOC rules this athlete and spectators, as I know so far, - didn't receive any sanctions or they wasn't disqualified as I was. And I told her that when they have this behavior towards this athlete, towards Russian flags, and when on another side, they have me and they try to implement some rules in such a way that some people may see it not fair. So I think it plays along with Russian propaganda, and I told her about it. I told my concerns", - Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych banned by IOC said on Thursday that, Feb 12, 2026

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych’s memory helmet shows the faces of Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia’s war. The International Olympic Committee has disqualified him for wearing it – undermining its own reputation. This decision is a shameful betrayal of Olympic values. More than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have lost their lives because of Russia’s war. Remembering them is an act of dignity and courage.

Це ціна нашої гідності. This is price of our dignity.
