Трехкратная олимпийская чемпионка по фигурному катанию и депутат Госдумы Ирина Роднина высказалась о возмущении Украинской федерации фигурного катания на коньках (УФФК) по решению Международного союза конькобежцев (ISU) допустить российских атлетов к отбору на Олимпиаду-2026.
The main conceptual idea expressed by Irina Rodnina in her statement is dismissive disdain for Ukrainian criticism of the decision to allow Russian figure skaters to participate in the 2026 Olympic qualifiers. She uses the phrase "У них все мозги уже давно отлетели" ("Their brains all flew away long ago") to characterize Ukrainian officials, implying they are irrational and incapable of reasoned argument. Rodnina justifies her dismissiveness by pointing to her personal history of being sanctioned by Ukraine for her political views and actions. Essentially, Rodnina is refusing to engage with the Ukrainian perspective, claiming it lacks legitimacy and common sense.
