Ukraine's sports minister: As Russia kills our athletes, it's not the time to allow Russians back to international sports
Following the executive board meeting on March 28, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) recommended allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to take part in international sporting events while still banning anyone who actively supports Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The Kyiv Independent spoke with Ukrainian Sports Minister Vadym Gutzeit about how sports remains an integral part of Russian propaganda, the role of the international sports federations in whitewashing Moscow, and why some of them have already started admitting athletes from Russia to international competitions.
