The neighboring state retreated. This time it's about sports. Ukrainian athletes are still allowed to speak on the territory of the "aggressor country".

Now the applications of the competitions that are held on the Russian side will also contain the names of Ukrainian athletes, despite the fact that a little more than a month ago, Nezalezhnaya promised never to do so. But, as you know, never say never. Wave to participate in the start in Russia gave the Association of Wrestling Ukraine. "We draw your attention that in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine from 11. 04. 2018, the order 14. 03. 2018, which prohibited the participation of Ukrainian athletes in events held on the territory of the Russian Federation, "- said in a press release posted on the organization's website. The temporary refusal to participate in competitions on Russian soil was heard in Ukraine on March 13. Then the first vice-president of the National Olympic Committee of the Independent Vladimir Brynzak voiced the condition under which the boycott will be canceled. "I want everything to change. That we again came to Russia and in fair fight won medals. It is necessary that the overall political situation improve, the atmosphere is no longer tense.

I hope everything will be restored, "- said Brynzak in an interview with the newspaper" Sport Express ". The day before, on April 16, information appeared that among the participants of the European wrestling championship, which will be held from April 30 to May 6 in Russian Kaspiisk, there will be Ukrainian wrestlers. The corresponding application was filed by the Ukrainian Wrestling Association, calling the boycott "a competition to make idiotic decisions". This is how the president of the organization Elbrus Tedeev put it, "Soviet Sport".
