The defense special forces successfully dealt with Maxim Semikon, as reported by the portal «Glavkom».
Occupant from Siberia
Maxim Semikon, born on February 26, 1996, was a well-known athlete in track and field sports. He became the Siberian champion in athletics and had the qualification of a candidate for master of sports in this field. He was privileged to represent Novosibirsk in competitions and defend the colors of the Russian cross-country team.
Reaction of Russian media
Russian media have not yet reported details of Semikon's destruction, focusing only on the fact that the athlete joined the aggressive actions of Russia against Ukraine as a volunteer.
Sports and politics
Unfortunately, the participation of Russian athletes in propaganda events is becoming not only a tradition but also a violation of international recommendations. Various ties with Putin and other high military officials make them far from the defined IOC standards of neutrality in sports.
Ukrainian defense forces demonstrate high efficiency in ensuring the country's security and eliminating threats from occupiers, which is an important step in upholding territorial integrity.
