Russian and Belarusian athletes have been banned from many competitions since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Belarus has served as a staging ground for Russian troops participating in the war.

The shift in language means that Ukrainian athletes will be able to compete in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
