The head of the Ukrainian government, Denys Shmyhal, claims that Ukraine and a coalition of 35 countries are ready to boycott the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris if athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus participate in them.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Youth and Sports, who is also the President of the NOC of Ukraine, Vadim Gutzeit, said earlier that Ukrainian athletes will take part in the Paris Olympics, even if athletes from Russia and Belarus compete in a neutral status.
“Ukraine is determined,” Shmygal wrote on his Telegram channel. “A powerful international coalition for fair sport has been formed, which includes 35 states.”
The Prime Minister of Ukraine hopes that the IOC will remove Russia from participation in the Olympics.
