There’s no coincidence between Ukrainian lives and their struggle for basic human dignity becoming ‘political propaganda’ on international sports arenas and the depth of corruption there fuelled by tyrannies like russia.

For years, Heraskevych has been calling out double standards and moral bankruptcy of many international sports institutions, passionately defending authentic Olympian values

This Ukrainian athlete did more today for the authentic Olympian values than anyone else. You might hear about Vlad Heraskevych for the first time from today’s global headlines, but he has a lifetime of standing up for dignity and fairness in international sports

Премія миру, рада миру, формула миру. Єдина гарантія миру - це сили і засоби. Мир без сили - це лише пауза перед новою війною. Державу не випрошують - її захищають.

Dignity and values. This is what is declining in the Olympic Committee and the Western world. We are witnessing a complete collapse of morals and ethics - this is russia's goal.
Mykhailo Heraskevych, Vladyslav’s father and coach, reacts after the IOC disqualified his son from the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Vladyslav was disqualified before his first run for wearing a “helmet of remembrance” honoring Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia’s invasion.

Wrap it up kids. Stop wasting Zelensky's time with these joke negotiations and give Ukraine the support needed to regain occupied territories. If the US is out, then fine, handle your shit Europe

"We are interested in resolving the (war) through political and diplomatic means. But until that happens, Russia will continue to pursue its goals on the battlefield," Kremlin aide Ushakov said.
