National Olympic Committee of Ukraine condemned the participation of the vice-president of the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation Viktor Petrenko in the ice show Sochi.

“The NOC of Ukraine strongly condemns and considers unacceptable the act of Viktor Petrenko, who recently took part in ice shows in Sochi, on the territory of an aggressor country waging a brutal war against Ukraine.”

“Such behavior, such an act is unacceptable for the Olympic community of Ukraine,” the NOC said.

Earlier, skeleton player Vladislav Geraskevich reacted to Petrenko’s act.

This show was attended by Russian figure skaters Victoria Sinitsyna and Nikita Katsalapov, who participated in a propaganda rally in Luzhniki in March.

By the time the war began, Petrenko was in Ukraine. His responsibilities include coordinating the international activities of the national federation.

Later, the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation removed from its website information about Viktor Petrenko’s membership in the presidium of the organization.
