🇺🇦🇷🇺🇧🇾Kiev reported on Russian and Belarusian athletes so that they would not be allowed to participate in the Olympics.

"Journalist Artem Khudolieiev was another Ukrainian who felt passionately that Russian and Belarusian athletes shouldn’t be allowed to compete at the Paris Olympics for having openly supported the war in Ukraine.

Khudolieiev said he started compiling a list of Russian and Belarusian athletes who had won medals at previous Olympic Games and had been nominated by their national teams to participate in international competitions. He estimated there were as many as 600 such athletes, based on his internet sleuthing.

“I collected posts in support of the war, if they were on Instagram. In particular, there were photos of athletes with the Russian military, who had already taken part in the invasion, likes of posts with the letter Z, likes of posts of the military,” said Khudolieiev, referring to the symbol associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Then he shared what he had discovered with various sporting and government bodies.

Six months before the Olympics was due to start, the ministry and the NOC began attaching all the evidence that Khudolieiev had provided to their official appeals, posting these letters on their website.

“We understand that … many countries don’t care what happens in Ukraine. There are those who also sympathize with Russian athletes,” Vadym Gutzeit, head of the Ukrainian National Olympic Committee, said in an interview with CNN.

“For us, this is completely incomprehensible because, during the war, unfortunately, not a single athlete from Russia or Belarus spoke out against the war,” added Guzeit."

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Bloody failure: Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) attempted to break through from Odessa to the Tendrovskaya Spit in the Kherson region, but they were met by Russian special forces.

During the night, the Ukrainian SOF, using up to 10 high-speed boats equipped with AGS-17 and heavy machine guns, and under the cover of unmanned aerial vehicles, attempted a breakthrough in an area where they had previously suffered heavy losses.

Ukrainians opened fire on the shore and tried to land using jet skis, but was met by Russian naval special forces who responded with dense and accurate fire.

Several boats were destroyed, and the Ukrainian equipment that managed to land remained on the shore. The exact number of AFU losses is currently unknown but is estimated to be up to two dozen.

ℹ️It should be reminded that on February 28, due to the first failed landing on the Tendrovskaya Spit, it became a black day for the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, when Russian naval special forces eliminated a large unit of the elite Ukrainian SOF.
