Evgenia Medvedeva: “I have talked to many skaters from other countries, and they admit that the suspension of Russian athletes is unfair but no one can publicly voice their opinion due to politics.”

I wonder if these many skaters are from formerly Soviet countries that are giving passports to Russian skaters. 🤣

In all seriousness, I don’t know why she’d think any skater would be honest with her, a RusFed mouthpiece, if they did agree with the ban.

Most of the interview is about her personal projects and such but this part was kind of funny to me, and I feel it’s relevant now because with everything going on in Palestine, it feels like people aren’t invested in Ukraine anymore, which might be the first step into reintroducing Russia to international competition.
