The Russian occupiers began assigning sports categories to teenage athletes who remained in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, effectively labeling them for propaganda purposes and ending their careers before they even started.

Russians have begun to "give away" sports categories to teenage athletes who remained in the temporarily occupied territories. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance, UNN reports.

The occupiers began to assign categories to those teenage athletes who, for various reasons, remained in the TOT. This assignment of the master of sports category by the Russian Federation is a deliberate labeling of athletes for purely propaganda reasons

- the center said in a statement.

They note that for most of these athletes, the path to compete under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, even under the white flag, is closed.

For most of these athletes, their careers ended before they began.

Recall

The occupation authorities in the TOT are actively promoting ethnic Russians and considering Ukrainians as potential traitors.
