Attack during the Olympics
The start of the 2026 Olympic Games is a significant event for Ukraine, as 46 Ukrainian athletes are participating in the competitions, representing the country in 11 sports. However, such provocations from the Kremlin during international sporting events provoke condemnation from various countries.
