Ukraine to compete at 2024 Olympics on one condition: athletes from Russia and Belarus must perform under neutral flags

only fair enough, I remember when they made the US and UK do this after killing hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq

The nazis hosted the olympics, no imperialist war has ever stopped the olympics from letting someone compete. Even in the worst possible interpretation of Russia's actions in Ukraine, barring them from the Olympics for it would be an entirely new precedent.

Forget neutral flags, they should be banned. Heck, Russia should be banned for doping, regardless of the war.

Good lord, the comments on that article. I guess I shouldn't expect any better from RT, but man it does really make me sad that so many people are happy living in a fantasy world where Ukrainians are the bad guys in this conflict.

Finally, some dignity and respect for human rights at the Olympics.

Putting a lot of trust in some notion of integrity on noted good organisation, the IOC, here

Ukraine should perform under the flag of Bandera

Is that a big bargaining chip or something? The presence of the Ukrainian Olympic team?

Ukraine having a normal one

The original Olympic truce required everyone to lay down their arms. It would go against the spirit to selectively enforce this. Not that the IOC actually cares about the legacy of the games, they tried to remove wrestling at one point.

Doesn't Russia already perform under neutral flags because of the doping?

Now we’re up to $900 per US household for this Ukraine stuff. Let’s throw a few more bucks at it to buy flags. Great use of taxpayer dollars. Sure, Jan.

Go Ukraine, but it's official, this worldnews community has become ragebait, like the original one :/

Here's the neutral flag:

But if there was a competition for International Money Grabbing, Green Shirt Goblin Guy would be right in there with gold, varje gång.

Just ban Russia and Belarus from participating FFS. Don't even let them in under neutral flags.

less competition for the ukrainian teams ;)

We’ll see what comes first, Zelenskyy getting deposed or the Olympic games

This reminds me of that fencing incident.

I have to wonder if Russia has ever really won a medal without cheating?

Good riddance to Europe's karens, then.

They can go join the enhanced games. Enhanced games

Edit: They = russia/ Belarus

Both countries and the games can mutually destroy each other
