Athletistic/Other. The Youth and Sports Committee of Ukraine has developed an initiative which consists in sending an official appeal to the leaders of various countries of the world from the Verkhovna Rada with a request to ban athletes and sports delegations from Russia from entering on the territory of other States in order to exclude their participation in international competitions.

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.
