The Slovenian Olympic Committee called on all sports associations to refrain from participating in competitions organised in Russian and Belarus.
It said that although sports should be above politics, “we simply cannot and should not look the other way” as Russia attacks Ukraine. “This is an unfathomable act that is causing the suffering of innocent people.” The Volleyball Association already said it would not send the national team to the World Championship in August if Russia remained the host.
