Valuev says Ukraine is violating international rules by fighting Russian aggression

Former world heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev has made ridiculous accusations against Ukraine's Sports Minister Matvey Bidny. The so-called State Duma deputy did not like the statements made by the head of our department about plans to ensure that the aggressor country is not allowed to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games.

In a commentary to the propaganda publication Sport-Express, Valuev called Ukraine a violator of international rules. The accomplice of Vladimir Putin's dictatorial regime also repeated traditional Kremlin clichés and nonsense about alleged nationalism in our country.

"Violation of international rules is for Ukraine. They know how to violate them radically. From undisguised nationalism to violations of religious freedom," Valuev said, forgetting about Russia's violation of all possible international rules and signed treaties in February 2022.

He also complained about the "insulting conditions of admission" for Russians to the 2024 Paralympics. "To some extent, it would be savage if they were placed in the same conditions as the Olympians and subjected to such draconian methods. Although we shouldn't discount the fact that there is still no anthem and no flag, and we had to get a neutral status. All this is very offensive," the Z-fan added.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova threw a real tantrum over Poor's words, blaming all the crimes committed by Russia on Ukraine.
