The Finnish national ice hockey team will not take part in the World Cup if the Russian team is allowed to attend the tournament. Iltalehti writes about this on Thursday, November 30.
As Finnish journalists emphasize, “now is not the time to send a signal to Russia that there can also be friends in sports.”
The Iltalehti material notes that the same opinion is shared in Sweden.
The Russian side has repeatedly emphasized the inadmissibility of politicizing sports, but this does not prevent international sports federations from infringing on the rights of athletes from the Russian Federation.
The Badminton World Federation has decided suspend membership of the National Badminton Federation of Russia. The official reason given was that the Russian Federation included four new regions, which Western sports officials continue to consider Ukrainian territory.
