How Russia uses the Olympics

From DonPress, Oct 11:

"The Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding the "Olympic Truce" with Russia

Ukraine supports Italy's proposal for a global ceasefire during the Winter Olympics, which will be held from February 6 to 22, 2026. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi stated this at a briefing, according to an RBC-Ukraine correspondent. 

"We support this call. But it should be remembered that Russia has launched several wars during the Olympic Truce. Russia launched an invasion of Georgia during the Olympic Truce. Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine during the Olympic Truce," Tykhyi noted. 

According to him, such actions by Russia are no coincidence, as during the Olympics, all media attention is focused on sporting events. And in the shadow of such events, Russia has committed crimes."
