German Call for Complete Ban of Russia and Belarus from the International Sporting System:
Berlin, February 26, 2022. For several days now, Russia, with Belarusian support, has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine. This invasion represents a fundamental breach of international law and blatantly violates the established values and norms of the international order. Athleten Deutschland is aghast and condemns the Russian war of aggression in the strongest possible terms. Our sympathies are with people on the ground who suffer from the military aggression.
All societal subsystems have the responsibility to question their relations with Russia and to impose tough sanctions – including national and international sport. We welcome initial reactions from national and international federations, including those of the DOSB and the IOC. Although the war of aggression has now been going on for several days, resolute action by international federations is mostly lacking. For this reason, we call on the international federations today to completely exclude Russia and Belarus from the world of international sport.​
