Kiryl Kozlov, a Russian trampoline athlete, has come under scrutiny for his involvement in a pro-war event in Krasnodar. Kozlov reportedly took part in the event, competing against the backdrop of a large military symbol "Z" and a Russian war propaganda slogan "We don’t abandon our own". This action has sparked widespread condemnation, leading to calls for his immediate suspension from international competitions.

The international sports community has strongly criticized Kozlov's participation in an event that is seen as endorsing war propaganda, reigniting conversations about the ethical responsibilities of athletes and their role in promoting peace, unity, and fair play in sports. Urgent appeals have emerged for decisive measures to address the situation and uphold the integrity of international sportsmanship.
