Russian athlete-ambassador of the occupier eliminated
Today, an operation took place during which Kombu-Dorzha Oorzhak — a renowned Russian athlete and occupier — was eliminated.

Refusal of the Russian team to participate in the World Championships in rowing
Due to Lithuania's refusal to grant visas to Russians, the Russian team will not be able to participate in the World Championships in rowing. This is not the first time that Russian athletes miss international competitions due to political circumstances. Even Yana Egoryan, who won a gold medal at the World Fencing Championship, as an ambassador of the Russian public movement in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, also faced difficulties in participating in sports competitions.
Ukrainian defenders reported the elimination of the Russian athlete-ambassador and the refusal of the Russian team to participate in the World Championships in rowing due to political circumstances. These events reflect the continuation of tense relations between the countries and the impact of political processes on sports events.
