Olympic champion and people's deputy Zhan Beleniuk published the text of the decree of the Ministry of Youth and Sports on a complete ban for Ukrainian teams to participate in international tournaments, where representatives of Russia and Belarus will perform.

Belenyuk posted a document signed by Deputy Minister Matvey Bidny on his Telegram page.

The decree introduces a ban on delegations of the national teams of Ukraine in Olympic and non-Olympic sports, as well as Paralympic teams to participate in international competitions where athletes from Russia and / or Belarus compete. At the same time, there is no clarification about representatives of individual sports..

It is also recommended that all sports federations of Ukraine monitor tournaments regarding the possible participation of Russians and Belarusians, and then report this to the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

In addition, sports federations will lose their national status if their representatives compete in tournaments with Russians and Belarusians..

Recall, the IOC allowed the return of athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus to international sports in a neutral status and provided that they are not military personnel and were not seen in support of the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the ban remained in force in team sports..
