Zelenskyy meets disqualified Ukrainian Olympic athlete after banned helmet tribute

From Associated Press.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday met with athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych who was disqualified from the Winter Olympic Games in Italy this week. Heraskevych was barred from racing after refusing a last-minute plea from the International Olympic Committee to not use a helmet that honors more than 20 athletes and coaches killed since Russia invaded Ukraine.
