On February 6, Ukraine’s gymnastics federation announced that Ukraine would send a gymnastics team to an event being held in Moscow. The UCC wrote to Ukraine’s Minister of Culture and Sport Borodyansky and Minister of Foreign Affairs Prystaiko calling on them to ensure that Ukrainian national sports teams boycott sporting events being held in Russia. Russia has waged war on Ukraine for 6 years, and Ukrainian athletes travelling to Russia is an insult to the memory of the thousands of courageous Ukrainian soldiers who have given their lives defending Ukraine’s freedom.
