Thomas Bach on his visit to Ukraine visited the sports facilities destroyed by the occupiers.
Thomas Bach on his visit to Ukraine saw with his own eyes the results of the brutality of Russian troops in Ukraine. According to the Minister of Youth and Sports Vadim Gutzeit, the president of the International Olympic Committee was shown the Avangard sports complex in Kyiv that was destroyed by a rocket. In addition, Bach visited the training base of the national teams in Koncha-Zaspa.
“Together with Thomas Bach and Sergei Bubka, we visited one of the training bases where our athletes were preparing for the starts, as well as the Avangard sports complex destroyed by Russian missiles.
They showed Mr. Thomas Bach the damaged basketball hall. I believe the whole world should see the consequences of the criminal shelling of the Russians at our civil sports facilities.
I thank the President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach for the visit – it is an important signal for the entire sporting movement. We really appreciate the IOC’s help in our sport, as well as the support of the Ukrainian people in our struggle for victory! ”Gutzeit wrote.
Recall that at a joint press conference with Vladimir Zelensky, Bach announced the increase in financial assistance to Ukrainian athletes.
