Earlier, the Romanian opposed the disqualification of Russians.
Dynamo coach Mircea Lucescu explained his disqualifications for Russian athletes.
“I believe that those who spoke out against the invasion should be removed, because sport has nothing to do with it. Sport should be based on fair play and passion. War cannot be justified. Those who speak positively about it are victims of propaganda, so it is impossible.
I said that Russian athletes should not pay for what is happening in Ukraine, and many attacked me for it. But I believe that sport can contribute to the cause of peace. We may not impose it, but it can pave the way for what we all want, “Lucescu said.
We will remind, on February 24 the president of the Russian Federation Putin made the urgent statement on carrying out special military operation in the territory of Ukraine, having begun large-scale invasion of the Ukrainian cities.
After that, Russian sports began to plunge into complete isolation. There are almost no federations left that have not excluded Russians from their competitions.
