Zelenskyy calls for Olympics ban on Russian athletes amid “terror” in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for stronger sanctions against Russia and a ban on Russian athletes in the upcoming Paris Olympics amid “terror” in Ukraine.

“Russian terror must lose everywhere, in everything — on the battlefield and in the way that there must be no single ruin left in our country, so that we can restore everything and, thus, prove that freedom is stronger,” Zelenskyy said in an evening address.

Zelenskyy compared the possibility of Russian athletes competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics with Germany hosting the 1936 games, and once more called for them to be banned from competition.

Earlier on Monday, Zelenskyy said Russia has begun its "big revenge" for Ukraine's resistance to its invasion, as Russian forces claimed a series of incremental gains in the country's east.
