Why are Russian "neutral" athletes the same "green people" who occupied Crimea?

The global Olympic Committee has made more efforts to "whiten" the Russians and the Belarusians in its "go to peace" than anyone else. And alternatively of simply saying that Russia is an aggressor country whose crimes are committed by its citizens, the ICC is trying to make their image as victims who request protection from the "aggressive world".

MKOl stood up for the Russians

It took me little than a year to radically change my opinion on Russia and Belarus. If, after the full-scale invasion began, both countries and their athletes were eliminated from global competitions, then in January 2023 the ICC declared that "not everything is so clear." And they began to push the thought of the Russians and the Belarusians returning to the tournaments, though in a "neutral" status. On 28 March, the ICC yet adopted recommendations to the federation on allowing Russians and Belarusians to enter global professions

The thought did not appeal to representatives of the civilized world. Many countries have explicitly declared that Russians and Belarusians should not be allowed to participate in tournaments under any position as long as Ukraine is at war, which Russia has begun with the active support of Belarus.

But the MKOl found those who have a “special opinion” on this subject. 1 of them was Alexandra Xantaki, UN peculiar rapporteur and expert on cultural rights and contemporary forms of racial discrimination and xenophobia. She was 1 of the co-authors of the September 2022 ICC appeal, in which she stated that the exclusion of Russians and Belarusians from global competitions was nothing but discrimination that was based on nationality.
It was this appeal that served as an argument of the ICC erstwhile he announced his first decision on the possible return of Russians and Belarusians to global games. Why was the UN so “rejoicing”? Therefore, in the future the ICC reacted aggressively to any dispute over why the Russians and the Belarusians should not be allowed to participate in tournaments
As Russian practice shows, there are athletes active not only in the Kremlin but besides in the military. For example, all 3rd Russian athlete at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2022 was a Russian army soldier.

And at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, out of 71 Russian medalists, 45 are athletes who are besides members of the central sports club of the Russian Army. The Minister for Youth and athletics and the president of the NKOl Vadym Gutzait one more time pointed out this during his speech at a consultation gathering of the president of the IOC with the heads of the National Olympic Committees.

"Is there a country in the planet that has breached the Olympic truce 3 times in a row (in 2008, 2014, 2022), starting an unprovoked war? None, but Russia and Belarus. Did any National Olympic Committee in the planet support wars, started in the world? Nothing but Russia, Belarus and possibly Nazi Germany. Do any of the another Olympic teams have the backs of sergeants, lieutenants and majors in the Armed Forces, including 1 Elena Isinbayeva, who has been nominated and elected to the MKOl? Nowhere but Russia’

All the efforts of the ICC to "hidden" Russians under a "neutral" position are nothing but a worthless effort to aid the Kremlin return to the global sports arena. Neutral position won't change anything. Finally, the same citizens of Russia – the country that is at war with Ukraine – will proceed to execute at tournaments. And which the Russian authorities will usage in their propaganda, including war. Their “neutral” position is nothing but a message that in 2014 the “green men” occupied Crimea and started a war in east Ukraine alternatively than the Russian army. After all, there were no recognition marks on them. Thus, according to the devious logic of the ICC, it was only a "neutral" army invaded the territory of a abroad country.

UN peculiar Rapporteur on Cultural Rights, Alexandra Xanthaki, said on late Sunday that only members of the Russian army active in the "crimes of war, genocide, crimes against humanity or war propaganda" be denied neutrality position to compete in global athletics before 2024. Olympics in Paris

So it turns out that until there is evidence that the Russian athlete "personally committed crimes against humanity, war crimes or genocides" – he should not be suspended in competitions. Even if he voluntarily went to fight Ukraine. And the fact that anyone who is someway active in the Russian army commits a crime is not considered. After all, each of them follows a criminal order all day. Therefore, the specified fact that specified an athlete is active in the Russian army should be the reason for his suspension. But not for the UN peculiar Rapporteur
