Anne Hidalgo insists. Visiting Kiev, her second trip to the Ukrainian capital since the start of the conflict, the mayor of Paris reiterated her opposition to the participation of Russian athletes in the Paris 2024 Games. A position already expressed at the start of the week on France Info…but contrary to his statements last month. “ As long as Russian forces continue to bomb you, target your civilian populations and infrastructure, as long as Russian soldiers occupy your territory, I do not want Russian athletes to participate in sporting events., declared Anne Hidalgo before the kyiv city council, where she was invited by the mayor, former boxer Vitali Klitschko. I have no doubt that the IOC will be able to adopt this position.”. During her visit, Anne Hidalgo also went to a school where one of the ten generators provided by the city of Paris is to be installed.
