The daughter of an occupier, who called him a 'hero', will participate in the European Wrestling Championship.

The International Wrestling Federation (United World Wrestling) has allowed the Russian Dinar Kudaeva to participate in the European Wrestling Championship. This was reported by the news outlet 'Glavkom'.

On May 9, 2024, Ukrainian defenders eliminated the occupier and Kudaeva's father, Zaki Salikhov. The Russian wrestler posted photos of her father with weapons and military uniforms on Instagram. She also asked her followers on Instagram to honor her occupier father as a 'hero'.

Kudaeva's actions contradict the requirements of the International Olympic Committee regarding the 'neutral' status of athletes from the Russian Federation. However, the pro-Russian International Wrestling Federation continues to allow her to compete.

Dinar Kudaeva will compete in the European Championship in the 65 kg weight category. Silver medalist of the Olympics in Paris, Irina Kolyadenko, will represent Ukraine in the same weight category.

In 2022, at the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion, Irina found herself under occupation in the city of Irpin. She was only able to leave the city at the end of March. Additionally, her apartment in Irpin was destroyed during shelling. Kolyadenko received this apartment after winning the bronze medal in Tokyo.

The European Wrestling Championship will take place from April 7 to April 13 in Bratislava (Slovakia).

According to friends and colleagues of the eliminated Russian occupier Alexander Rabotnitsky, who was a Paralympic Games medalist, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract with a man diagnosed with 'organic brain damage'.

31-year-old Rabotnitsky served as a platoon commander in the reconnaissance platoon. Relatives and friends of the occupier were not informed about the circumstances of his death.

Athletes who trained with Rabotnitsky state that after his professional career, he became addicted to gambling.

Alexander Rabotnitsky is a Honored Master of Sports of Russia in athletics among athletes with intellectual disabilities. He is a silver medalist of the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021, a three-Time champion, silver and bronze medalist of the World Championships, a champion and silver medalist of the European Championships, and a three-time champion of Europe indoors and multiple champion of Russia.
