Oleksandr Svishchov against the admission of Russian athletes: called the decision immoral.

According to inkorr.com: Oleksandr Svishchov firmly opposed the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in water polo competitions, calling it 'legalization of aggression' and an 'immoral' act. He urged the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine and other sports organizations to unite efforts in combating this move. Since 2022, Svishchov has been actively defending his position and preparing official letters to international organizations demanding a review of the situation.

‘This is not just a blow to the principles of justice and sports ethics – it is a cynical disregard for common sense and the memory of victims of war,’ Svishchov emphasized.

In his address to international federations, he emphasizes the importance of adhering to sports fairness and moral values, calling for support for countries that oppose aggression and violations of international law.

The situation surrounding the participation of athletes from aggressor states in international competitions remains tense. Influential voices in the sports environment, such as Svishchov, emphasize that it is important to maintain the ethical principles that govern sports and prevent the 'legalization' of aggression through competitions. This issue is not just about sports, but also about supporting common moral values and the memory of those who suffered due to the war.
