'Beat every single Russian' — Ukrainian semifinalist at Wimbledon condemns IOC ruling on Russia

Did Putin Give Up Part of the Spoils of War in Ukraine Because of the Olympics in America?

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, clearing the path for Russian athletes to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The IOC states its decision is based on the Russian Olympic Committee no longer including regional sports organizations from the Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia. Has Russia quietly renounced it’s desire for control over these territories? And what does it want in return?

The IOC just recommended bringing Russian athletes back to the Olympics. Here’s how Russia, Ukraine, and the West are reacting.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended lifting all restrictions on Russian athletes who had been barred from international competition following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and provisionally reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee. Since 2022, Russian athletes had either been barred from major competitions entirely or allowed to compete only as individuals in neutral status. The IOC recommendation does not automatically grant access to competitions — decisions will be made by the international federations governing each sport — but it significantly weakens the isolation of Russian sport. Meduza looked at how the decision is being received in Russia, Ukraine, and the West.
