Plushenko said that athletes should be trained in military science, if necessary
Two-time Olympic champion in figure skating Evgeni Plushenko spoke about the attitude to the training of athletes in military affairs. His words are quoted by Match TV.
“If there is such a need, we must go. For training, I emphasize. And then they will tell you what to do. So, there are prerequisites for something that we still do not know,” Plushenko said. He emphasized that this should be treated normally.
On October 3, Plushenko spoke about the conscription of athletes as part of a partial mobilization. “Everyone must do their job. If you are in the national team, you should go in for figure skating, ”said the ex-skater.
On September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of partial mobilization in the country. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu specified that a total of 300,000 reservists are planned to be called up.
