"This uniform is political": The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned Ukrainian athletes from competing at the Paralympic Games in uniforms featuring an image of Ukraine.
This was reported by the President of the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine, Valeriy Sushkevych. According to him, the ceremonial uniform depicted Ukraine "with all its territories, without the Russian occupation."
Sushkevych noted that back at the 2024 Games, the International Committee tried to ban Ukrainians from appearing in uniforms with military accents, but at that time, they [the committee] were successfully "pushed through."
"We were more radical. Our radicalism is explained by the fact that after Paris, this escalation of loyalty to 'Russia' occurred with new strength, a new wave. That is, there are already subjects of the Paralympic officialdom sitting there, guarding against letting Ukraine declare itself as a country without occupation, and stating that it will fight in such a uniform against the aggressor country," said the President of the National Paralympic Committee.
