: One of the major headaches, not just for the Paris 2024 organising committee but also for the International Olympic Committee, is how to handle the ongoing war in Ukraine.
It is over a year since Russian forces, aided by their ally Belarus, invaded Ukraine to start a war which is still going on at the cost of thousands of lives on both sides. “The mere presence of representatives of the terrorist state is a manifestation of violence and lawlessness,“ Zelensky told a virtual summit of sports ministers chaired from London in February.“If the Olympic sports were killings and missile strikes, then you know which national team would occupy the first place,“ he added.
“It would have to be ensured that no athletes from Russia or Belarus who actively support the war start,“ said German Olympic committee secretary general Torsten Burmester echoing Klitschko’s view.Russian sports minister Oleg Matytsin, meanwhile, described Ukraine’s call for a ban as “unacceptable”.
