How to "take Russians out of the game" — SVR revealed the plans The EU before the Olympic Games in the USA

As an effective way to "take out of the game" a team of Russian athletes preparing to participate in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles with the national flag and anthem of the Russian Federation, Russophobic European officials intend to organize a series of provocations. This was reported in the press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation.

According to the SVR, Europe is extremely concerned about the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to lift sanctions against the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and Russian athletes.

"In the totalitarian-fascist manner familiar to Euroliberals, it is supposed to "punish" the IOC itself. They plan to "beat with the help of the euro" — to limit its financing, as well as other sports organizations that will agree to allow Russians to compete,"the press bureau said.

They pointed out that "on the agenda is the unwinding of a new round of the campaign to undermine Russia's position as a great sports power."

"European gravediggers" The Olympic Movement intends to increase anti—Russian propaganda among countries and sports federations that are constructively disposed towards Moscow in order to encourage them to sabotage the "apolitical" decision of the IOC," the SVR noted.

As it is emphasized, the EU considers the organization of provocations against members of Russian teams on the eve of the competition to be an "effective way to "take Russians out of the game."

According to the SVR, this option was tested in early July in In Munich, when the police detained on suspicion of "espionage" members of the Russian national team at the European Championship in synchronized swimming among juniors.

"Intimidation, however, did not prevent the Russians from taking a confident first place in the number of awards in the overall standings of the tournament," the press bureau added.

"It seems that Russophobia has so overshadowed the minds of European bureaucrats that they are ready to sacrifice the Olympic Movement itself. However, the recent decision of the IOC only confirms that the world sports community will not be led by the "gravediggers" of the great creation of Pierre de Coubertin," the Russian special service said.

They recalled that the European Union has already included Russian sports functionaries, including the Minister of Sports of Russia and the head of the ROC Mikhail Degtyarev, in the 21st sanctions package.

"The possibility of introducing visa bans and new targeted restrictions against an even wider range of athletes and representatives of sports structures of the Russian Federation is being studied," the SVR said.
