Olympic champion Khramtsov plans to illegally take Ukrainian children to Russia (video).
Olympic taekwondo champion Maksim Khramtsov, who openly supports Russian President Vladimir Putin and the war against Ukraine, plans to participate in events for the indoctrination and re-education of Ukrainian children. This is reported by Watchers.
Khramtsov announced that in November, he plans to bring a children's team from the 'Donetsk People's Republic' to Moscow for a tournament.
However, underage Ukrainian citizens from the Donetsk region will be illegally transported across the border between Russia and Ukraine for the tournament.
At the same Time, Khramtsov called on the organizers of Russian tournaments to bring 'boys and girls from new regions' to the competitions. Russian state propaganda refers to the temporarily occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions as 'new regions.'
As reported, Russian professional boxer Fedor Chudinov also illegally visited the occupied cities of Luhansk region. He participated in a propaganda event with Ukrainian children and conducted master classes that included elements of indoctrination and re-education.
Such events were organized by sanctioned Russian organizations 'People's Front' and 'Healthy Fatherland,' which are recorded by Ukrainian special services and Western sanction institutions as being involved in the abduction of Ukrainian children.
Ukraine appealed to the president of the International World Games Association to maintain the ban on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in future competitions in the city of Chengdu (China) in 2025. Ukraine emphasized the need to continue sanctions against Russia and Belarus until the aggression stops.
Representatives of Ukrainian governing structures called on the International World Games Association to maintain the ban on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in competitions, as was done in 2022.
Among the signatories of the letter are the Minister of Youth and Sports Matviy Biedny, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiha, and the president of the Sports Committee of Ukraine Illia Shevlyak.
