Statement from the Nordic Olympic Committees, Paralympic Committees, and Sports Confederations on the escalating Russian aggression in Ukraine

The Nordic Olympic Committees, Paralympic Committees and Sports Confederations find the Russian invasion of Ukraine to be a blatant breach of international law.

The Russian aggression in Ukraine is escalating. Under these circumstances, it will be unacceptable to open up for Russian and Belarusian international sports participation. We stand firmly in our position. Now is not the right time to consider their return.

We call upon the Olympic and Paralympic Movement and all international sports organisations to continue to show solidarity with the Ukrainian people and the demand for peace. We give our full support to the recommendations of no participation of all Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international sports.
