The International Olympic Committee said it rejects Ukraine’s “defamatory statements”.

The International Olympic Committee rejected sharp criticism from Ukrainian authorities, who accused the IOC of inciting war. This happened because of the organization’s intention to allow the Russians to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Reuters reports.

The IOC called the criticism of Ukraine “defamatory” and not conducive to “constructive discussion.”

“The IOC strongly rejects these and other defamatory statements. They cannot be the basis for any constructive discussion,” the International Olympic Committee said in a statement.

Remember, on the eve of President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the International Olympic Committee’s attempts to return Russian athletes to competitions and the Olympic Games “is an attempt to tell the whole world that terror can be something acceptable.”

“Supposedly, you can close your eyes to what Russia is doing with Kherson, with Kharkov, with Bakhmut and Avdiivka. […] In the first half of the 20th century, many mistakes were made in Europe, which led to terrible tragedies. There was also a big mistake at the Olympics,” the president said.

Earlier it was reported that the European Olympic Committees are not against the return of Russians and Belarusians to international tournaments. They expressed their position in an official statement.

Before that, the NOC was informed that if the Russians were admitted, Ukraine could boycott the Olympics.
