Thomas Bach on the future
has been going on for a week. The scale of destruction and the number of deaths among soldiers and civilians grows with each passing day. That is why journalists decided to ask Thomas Bach what will the IOC do after the end of Russia’s war with Ukraine? – We left it open. It is very difficult to define the term or define, which may lead to the tightening of sanctions or the lifting of some of them. Therefore, there is a fragment in the outline that we are sticking to. We will closely monitor the situation and adjust our actions to its development, the president said.
Bach also emphasized that the sanction was not imposed on the Russian Olympic Committee as, according to the IOC, it is not responsible for the attack on Ukraine. – Those who have violated the Olympic Charter can be held responsible. And neither the athletes are responsible for that, nor – he said.
In the context of the person who ordered the attack on Ukraine, a decision was made to withdraw the Olympic Order from him. The same happened to Dmitry Chernyshenko (deputy prime minister) and Dmitry Kozak (deputy chief of staff of the President’s Executive Office).
