The Ukrainian national judo team will miss the Grand Prix of Dushanbe (Tajikistan) due to the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes.

" This is due to the fact that the International Judo Federation (IJF) has registered representatives of Russia and Belarus for participation in the tournament as " There are 11 representatives of the aggressor countries in the application for the tournament - two Belarusian and nine Russian judoists,"

Recall, the International Judo Federation allowed Russians and Belarusians to tournaments without the symbols of the countries. Previously, all federations received such a recommendation from the International Olympic Committee. In team sports, the ban remains in place.

Later it became known that Russian servicemen were present in the application of the Russians for the World Judo Championship, and Ukraine decided to boycott the tournament..
