Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmygal announced his readiness to boycott the 2024 Olympic Games if Russians participate in the tournament. He told about it in Telegram.
“A powerful international coalition for fair sport has been formed, which includes 35 states. Together we are ready to boycott the Olympic Games in Paris if Russia and Belarus are allowed to participate in the competitions,” he said, noting the decisive attitude of Ukraine.
Earlier on August 14, the President of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, Vadym Gutzeit, said that Ukrainians are obliged to perform at the Olympic Games in Paris. He stressed that the Ukrainian side would agree to participate in the Games, subject to the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes in a neutral status.
The Olympic Games are to be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The question of the participation of Russian athletes in competitions has not yet been resolved.
