  1. But it’s not a war, it’s Russia’s full-scale invasion. And, it’s their terrorism that killed 487 athletes. So why do what’s left of Ukraine have to see those same genocidal terrorists play in “ goodwill games”? Because Thomas Bach and the IOC is corrupt.
    And, that’s the story you choose to cover up.

  2. They shouldn’t be allowed for supporting terrorist Zelensky who started that war. Harris and Biden pushed Putin to retaliate Harris and Biden started that war

  3. oh, France looks pretty rich, Ukraine has enough money to send a team? But the US needed to send country Ukraine 61 billion this year? How bout Europe pay for europes wars

  4. I'm gunna be honest, being American I want Ukraine to be number one. Like they're a freaking strong country full of even stronger people!

  5. So military is only for poor people who can’t pay off the officers?! These athletes are men of military age in good physical health , sport has zero benefit to current state of country , who pays their exorbitant salary? Or travel costs? Gove the money to Ukrainians and send the men places they can fight and be useful
