Ukraine’s Zelensky Says ‘Nyet’ to Russia’s Olympic Return: ‘Their Flags Are Stained in Blood’
Breitbart ^ | 12/15/2022 | Simon Kent

Posted on 12/15/2022 5:51:46 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Any prospect of Russia’s athletes returning to the international spotlight at the 2024 Summer Olympics was flatly rejected Wednesday by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a phone call with International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach as reported by Fox News, the Ukraine leader slammed the idea even if the athletes arrived under a neutral flag.

His condemnation came just days after the IOC said it was open to exploring options that would allow athletes from Russia or its ally Belarus to join others in some international sporting events.

I know let’s send him some nukes and all our grand kids money. We’ll be speaking some other language in America soon.

Why couldn’t a 22 year old girl, that lives in Monaco but was born in Russia, play a tennis tournament?

Petulant trash.

Any 22 year old that lives in Monaco and plays professional tennis can easily change her citizenship to some country that isn’t currently raping its neighbor, and play under that flag. And if whe’s such a big patriot that she needs to cling to her russian passport, then she can suffer the same sanctions as the rest of them.

I suppose he also wants Russia to get out of Ukraine, to go back to their own country, and to stop killing Ukrainians.

Absent that, I suppose both he and a lot of folks around the world don't want to see Russia in the Olympics. They'll just cheat anyway.

This from the scoundrel who has led tens of thousands of young Ukrainians to their slaughter to protect his own corrupt interests.

He has looted the wealth of the Ukrainian people and has bought mansions in Florida, Italy and other countries with the stolen money.

He has looted the hard-earned money of Americans to pay his tyrant government’s salaries and demanded endless billions more as if there is no end to what MUST be given him.

This is the tyrant who outlawed opposition parties, jailed political opponents, ordered raids on Orthodox churches and arrested priests. He also shut down all TV stations not supporting his tyranny.

This man is a murderous gangster beyond anything at the level of Al Capone in his heyday.

I will cheer when this evil dictator is chased to the ends of the Earth and given the summary punishment he so richly deserves.

You don’t sound qualified to be my shrink. We are discussing sanctions on athletes. Stay on target.

That means we couldn’t be in the Olympics. We have blood on our hands. Tinpot dictators? US and Canada at the top.

Putin has done most of that as well, plus murdered opposition figures and others, and invaded other nations.

So why do you want him to win? At least Zelensky didn't do that stuff until his country was ij vaded and there were reasons to be concerned about pri-Russian fifth columnists. Putin had no excuse exceot crushing dissent for its own sake.

Right, Putin's invasion of Ukraine is not the problem, its Ukraine defending itself. Okay

This is the tyrant who outlawed opposition parties, jailed political opponents, ordered raids on Orthodox churches and arrested priests. He also shut down all TV stations not suppoting his tyrrany

Outlawed pro-russian parties and shut down pro-russian tv stations while being invaded by Russia. Unbelievable!

This man is a murderous gangster beyond anything at the level of Al Capone in his heyday.

French Social Media Erupts as Store Clerk on Avenue Montaigne Reports Zelenskyy’s Wife Having €40,000 Christmas Shopping Spree in Paris

December 14, 2022

Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, traveled to Paris France for a three-day visit December 12-14. As reported by Le Monde, “Members of the Ukrainian government will also come, including Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, and several ministers in charge of reconstruction, including Yulia Svyrydenko (economy), Oleksandr Kubrakov (infrastructure) and German Galushchenko (energy).”

Social media has erupted today after a “reliable store clerk” working on the ritzy Avenue Montaigne, has reported that Olena Zelenska went on a Christmas shopping spree spending €40,000 euros in an hour. (citation) Previously President Zelenskyy’s wife was received by French first lady Bridget Macron.

Who cares what Zelensky thinks? If he's still alive by the time the next Olympics occur, he'll out of power and snorting cocaine in his Miami or London mansion.

And, Russian athletes competed in the last winter and summer Olympics. It's silly to pretend they were banned.
