Kremlin slams US Olympics boycott, France seeking EU response

Moscow (AFP) Dec 7, 2021

The Kremlin on Tuesday criticised the United States for announcing a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, saying the Games should be "free of politics". US President Joe Biden's administration announced Monday that it will not send any US diplomatic or official governmental representatives to the Games kicking off in February in a rebuke of China's human rights record.
