The “unacceptable” and “erroneous” decision was made by the Joe Biden administration, refusing to send their delegations to the 2022 Winter Games, which will be held in China. This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at his final press conference.
The President stressed that, like art, sport “should unite people, and not create problems between peoples and states.”
According to him, everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone repeats them. However, as for America, the head of the country said, it continues to step on the same rake.
“I talked with one of the former US presidents, and he told me that the blockades of the Olympics in Los Angeles and Moscow were a big mistake, including the United States,” Putin said. He believes that such “repeated” mistakes on the part of Washington “are caused by” attempts to restrain the development of the PRC; there are no other motives and cannot be. “
Earlier, at the same event, he said that China will inevitably become the first economy in the world and the United States will not be able to prevent this.
In addition to the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Canada have announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics because of Beijing’s oppression of the Uyghurs. Such a refusal assumes the absence of officials at the Olympic Games-2022, but allows the participation of athletes.
Putin gave the press conference live in 2021. 507 media representatives were invited to the Manezh, including foreign agents, who, however, were not given the floor. The President’s conversation with journalists took almost four hours, he answered 55 questions.
