Of course they’re publicly fine with it. That doesn’t mean there aren’t Uknrainian athletes that won’t qualify for the Olympics purely because of this rule

Yeah that’s the exact sort of thing high level athletes like to overcome and show everyone just how good they are. Russia should absolutely face consequences on a sporting level but this is giving the consequences to the Ukrainian athletes who will now lose because of the politics

And Russia definitely knows how to propaganda

The Ukrainian high level athletes are out of country dude

I’m 100% sure that’s how the athletes feel. This move is coming from beurocrats

Right? I’d relish ever opportunity to defeat a Russian were I a Ukrainian athlete.
