Instead of a traditional opening ceremony in a stadium, France has planned a river parade along 6 km of the River Seine, ending at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. France will deploy 35,000 security agents and the military to secure the opening ceremony from security threats, including drone strikes, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said in May.
The Kremlin has rejected assertions that Russia would malevolently target the Olympics, calling them absolutely unfounded.Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the IOC initially recommended a ban from international competitions of athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus, but it has since allowed them to qualify as neutrals.
