Ukrainian athletes have nothing in common with humanity, – skeletonist Geraskevich.


The Ukrainian skeletonist spoke about conflicts with Russian athletes
Ukrainian athlete Vladislav Geraskevich shared his experiences communicating with Russian athletes and officials. He noted that representatives of the Russian Federation of bobsleigh and skeleton actively support the war.
From the beginning of our careers in the world of sports, we have always had major conflicts with the Russian Federation of bobsleigh and skeleton. We almost came to blows with their representatives. At that Time, Alexander Zubkov was at the helm of the Russian Federation. We also often conflicted with Zubkov's wife and with Russian coaches. I see that neither the Russian athletes nor their federation have any relation to humanism, and there can be no normal coexistence. They are savages who actively support the war.
Geraskevich believes that the exclusion of Russian athletes has only benefited the international community. Now competitions take place in a much better atmosphere.
Right now there are no Russian athletes, and competitions are held in a much calmer atmosphere. I hope that the exclusion will continue in the future.
Famous Russian figure skaters Ivan Bukin and Alexandra Stepanova, who seek to obtain neutral status and participate in the Olympics, have shown support for the sanctioned propagandist singer Shaman. Ivan Bukin subscribed to Shaman's Instagram page, while Alexandra Stepanova liked and commented on one of his posts.
It should be noted that Shaman is included in the sanctions lists of Ukraine, Canada, and the European Union due to his support of Russian aggression.
Bukin and Stepanova are vice-champions of Europe and frequent prize-winners of the Russian championships.
