The International Olympic Academy condems the Russian invasion to Ukraine
RESOLUTION
The International Olympic Academy unites its voice with the International Olympic Committee, firmly condemning the Russian invasion to Ukraine.
Any act of violation against independent nations and people, is, in essence, an abusive offence of the fundamental Values of Olympism, which aim towards peaceful coexistence and solidarity.
The IOC, taking into consideration the above, has decided to urge all the International Federations to withdraw every single international event which has been planned to take place in Russia and Belarus, as well as to withdraw their national flags from every sports event on a global scale, as a symbolic act of opposition to this barbaric invasion.
