According to the official statement, the development of this initiative is based on the proposals of the International Olympic Committee regarding the possible authorization of participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in international competitions under a neutral flag, including the Olympic Games.
A message published on the organization’s telegram channel stresses that the presence of representatives of Russia and Belarus on the territory of other countries “poses a threat to the stability and national security of these states”.
In its proposal, Ukraine also calls on French President Emmanuel Macron to ban the entry of Russian and Belarusian athletes, given that it is on the territory of this country that the Olympic Games are to be held in 2024.
