The Ministry of Sports of Ukraine has banned its athletes from participating in competitions with Russian and Belarusian counterparts, according to a statement on the website of the ministry.

The statement said: “Preventing the participation of Ukrainian national teams in international sports competitions in which athletes from Russia or Belarus participate.”

Earlier, Oleg Nemchinov, a member of the executive committee of the Ukrainian Olympic Committee, said that Ukrainian athletes were not allowed to participate in the qualification for the 2024 Olympics in Paris along with the Russians.

At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus on the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee.

The decision on the participation of its representatives in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has not yet been made.
