The decision of the Council of the Association to continue the suspension of Belarusian and Russian athletes from international competitions was announced by its head,

Sebastian Kou:

"Sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus around the world seem to be the only peaceful way to disrupt and disrupt Russia's current intentions and restore peace.

The death and destruction we have seen in Ukraine over the past year, including the deaths of more than 185 athletes, has only strengthened my resolve on this issue."
