Olesya Kuznetsova, a Russian judo athlete, is coming under intense scrutiny for her online activity, where she has appeared to endorse and support Russia's aggression against Ukraine. This has sparked international outrage, with calls for her to be excluded from international sporting events.

The global sports community strongly condemns any public support for actions that contribute to conflict and war. Kuznetsova's online behavior, seemingly justifying aggression against Ukraine, directly contradicts the fundamental principles of peace, unity, and fair competition that sports represent. It is imperative to take swift measures to hold individuals accountable for actions that undermine the spirit of fair competition and global unity, ensuring that sports remain a platform free from political or military manipulation.
