The Lithuanian representative Marijus Tumas who participated in the event claimed that he did not see any V. Putin, only his hologram.
“He is not interesting to anyone here, he is not needed by anyone here. And, to be honest, no one even noticed him. Some kind of his hologram flickered there. But this is not the person anyone would be interested in,” said M. Tumas, a participant of the World Nomad Games from Lithuania.
In fact, V. Putin was at that time in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, attending the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.
Leaders of countries afraid to oppose Russia’s aggression, such as China, Iran, India, participated in it.
At the same time, the World Nomad Games organized by the Kyrgyz were taking place.
About 3 thousand participants took part in the games of horseback riding, archery, wrestling, and other ancient sports, including large forces from Russia.

M. Tumas, who was among them, stated: “Believe me, there is no politics here. There is no love for Russians here.”
The Ministry of Education, Science and Sports sent an explanation to LNK that it does not know much about this event, and no organization or athlete has received funding from the ministry for participating in these games.
“The preparation of athletes and their participation in international sports competitions is handled by national sports federations…” – the ministry indicated.
Member of the Seimas Youth and Sports Affairs Committee Virgilijus Alekna said he could not understand why some Lithuanian athletes still decide to go to such events.
“I have really heard little about the Nomad Games. The number of participants is not small. The organizers, I think, are somewhat provocatively trying to involve as wide a circle of countries as possible,” commented V. Alekna.
