The former Russian biathlete, who has been competing for the Ukrainian national team for the past 10 years, reacted on Instagram (the company that owns Meta is considered an extremist organization) to his expulsion from the national team.
“Indeed, on February 24, when I was at a training camp in Syanki, Lviv region, I had to leave the territory of the sports center and go to the Transcarpathian region. After that, after crossing the Hungarian border, I went to my one and a half year old daughter who was in Russia at the time. But why now, when our country needs unity and support, we start a kind of internal showdown and look for traitors where there are no traitors? Written by Abramova.
Abramova was dismissed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. He will no longer represent the national team of Ukraine in the international arena. In addition to her, this decision affected two more ex-Russians – Ekaterina Bekh and Oksana Moskalenko.
Recall that the participation of Russian and Belarusian biathletes in international competitions under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) is temporarily suspended.
Volodymyr Brynzak, President of the Biathlon Federation of Ukraine will not be reelected due to public pressure. During a special operation, he helped Moskalenko and Bekh leave Ukrainian territory.
