Ukrainian athletes not only continue to train during the war, but also keep an information front.

"It hurts us to look at the destroyed gyms, stadiums and our houses. We call on the whole world to support the boycott of performances of Russian athletes and teams in any status at any competition as long as the war in Ukraine continues. We appeal to all athletes, all countries - support our demands, bring the scale of the tragedy to the presidents of their sports federations. We just need your help now, to fight for our freedom, life and peace. "

Hundreds of sports facilities in Ukraine have already been damaged during the war. In Kyiv, sports infrastructure has also been destroyed by rocket fire.

Ukrainian athletes call for a boycott of the aggressor's performance at international sports competitions.

I thank the author of the photo Nikolai Sinelnikov for reflecting the cruel reality that our children are experiencing. The world needs to know about this!
