Elena Isinbayeva, Alexander Popov, Vitaly Smirnov and Shamil Tarpishchev were on the sanctions list
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree establishing sanctions against IOC members from Russia.
Included in the sanctions list Yelena Isinbayeva, Alexander Popov, Vitaly Smirnov And Shamil Tarpishchev. Isinbayeva and Tarpishchev are active members of the IOC, and Smirnov and Popov are honorary.
Regarding them, economic restrictions have been introduced, a ban on participation in privatization, leasing of state property, a ban on entry into the territory of Ukraine, a ban on acquiring land plots and other restrictions. All four were sanctioned for 50 years.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should inform the competent authorities of the European Union, the United States and other states about the application of sanctions and raise the issue of imposing similar restrictive measures with them.
Earlier, Zelensky spoke at an online meeting of a group of 35 countries discussing the holding of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The President of Ukraine urged not to allow representatives of terrorist states to the Games in any status.
Recall that a group of countries, including the US, France, Australia, Poland, Lithuania, Japan and the UK, opposed the admission of athletes from Russia and Belarus to the Olympics in Paris. With this requirement, they will apply to the IOC.
The IOC is ready to consider the possibility of admitting athletes from Russia and Belarus to international competitions. In this case, everyone who wishes will be required to act in a neutral status. Also, athletes should not support the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and pass a mandatory doping test.
