They are not just names — lives taken, stories ended.
They will not be forgotten; no IOC bans will make us forget or forgive russia for all the evil they brought to our land.
These are the men, women and children depicted on the helmet of a 🇺🇦 skeletonist @heraskevych who were killed on their Ukrainian territory by Russian terrorists during Russian attacks on civilian targets or killed directly in combat while defending their country. Herojam Slava!

"Man rokās ir ķivere. Domāju, visiem ir skaidrs, ko šajā brīdī tas nozīmē. Gribu, lai visa Latvijas tauta un pasaule zina, ka mēs šajā grūtajā laikā esam ar Ukrainu. Bijām, esam un būsim. Mēs esam ar Ukrainu. Slava Ukrainai!" sarunā ar Latvijas Televīziju teica Aparjods. #LSM #ZiemasOS2026
Sport shouldn’t mean amnesia, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of aggressors. Unfortunately, the decision of the International Olympic Committee to disqualify Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych says otherwise. This is certainly not about the principles of Olympism, which are founded on fairness and the support of peace.
I thank our athlete for his clear stance. His helmet, bearing the portraits of fallen Ukrainian athletes, is about honour and remembrance. It is a reminder to the whole world of what Russian aggression is and the cost of fighting for independence. And in this, no rule has been broken.
It is Russia that constantly violates Olympic principles, using the period of the Olympic Games to wage war. In 2008, it was the war against Georgia; in 2014 – the occupation of Crimea; in 2022 – the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And now, in 2026, despite repeated calls for a ceasefire during the Winter Olympics, Russia shows complete disregard, increasing missile and drone strikes on our energy infrastructure and our people.
660 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have been killed by Russia since the full-scale invasion began. Hundreds of our athletes will never again be able to take part in the Olympic Games or any other international competitions. And yet, 13 Russians are currently in Italy competing at the Olympics. They compete under “neutral” flags at the Games, while in real life publicly supporting Russian aggression against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories. And they are the ones who deserve disqualification.
We are proud of Vladyslav and of what he did. Having courage is worth more than any medal.
Сьогодні мій колега-історик намагався мені довести, що не можна постійно жартувати про жаб на московських болотах. Мовляв, їхня історія теж "глибока".
Що ж, довелося провести для нього історичний лікбез.
There is no "Ukrainian crisis", there is only a rotten, greedy, corrupt, cruel and bloody Russia. The country is literally run by bandits who 25 years ago were engaged in petty theft and now consider themselves great rulers.
‼️ Українська правда опублікувала сенсаційну інформацію, що Трампа виявляється роздратувало те, що наш президент не був одягнутий у костюм. 🕺
Це брехня, насправді він розлютився через те, що президент не залишив йому "козявку" на столі, як це поважно зробив син Ілона Маска🤭.
