The President of the Ukrainian Thai Boxing Federation spoke about the principled position in relation to the aggressor countries.
Ukrainian muay thai fighters will continue to boycott international tournaments if athletes from Russia and Belarus are allowed to participate.
So the refusal of the Ukrainian national team to go to the World Youth Championship 2022, commented the President of the Ukrainian Thai Boxing Federation Pavlo Yevtushenko.
“The Ukrainian team became the strongest in the world at the 2022 World Games. We repeated this result, because in 2017 at the Games in Wroclaw, our team also became the strongest. We showed that we have the right to vote in the Thai Boxing Federation .
We are one of the strongest nations in this sport, so our demands must be met. If there are athletes from these countries in the next competitions, we will also ignore them.
I tell the athletes that this is our front line. The military has its own front, and we have ours. And here we must defend the interests of Ukraine. We made such a decision,” Yevtushenko wrote.
