“The fact that the Ukrainian NOC has long since lost common sense is obvious and we should not pay attention to it, we must take everything with a smile. In this situation, we must rely on the law. .

The main thing is that these are recommendations from the IOC and the international federations of different sports are free to make their own decisions,” Vassiliev is quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.

Nine Russian rowers will take part in the qualifications for the tournament in Szeged (Hungary), which will take place on May 8 and 9.
