Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and member of the NOC Oleg Nemchinov announced that the government has decided that Ukrainians will participate in the selection for the 2024 Olympics only in those competitions where there will be no Russians.

" Accordingly, participation outside these criteria may be grounds for depriving federations of the status of a national one,"

Recall that on March 28, the IOC returned Russians and Belarusians to international sports with a number of restrictions..

Individual athletes were allowed to compete, while the ban remains in place in team sports..

Sports federations will be able to enter only athletes who have not been seen actively supporting the war in Ukraine. The same condition applies to coaches and staff.. The participation of all Russian and Belarusian military personnel, as well as members of army organizations is prohibited..

The Summer Olympic Games in Paris will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024.

Earlier, the IOC announced when they would make a decision on the possible participation of Russians in the 2024 Olympics.
