Țara care blochează vizele pentru sportivii ruşi. „Atâta timp cât războiul continuă, nu au ce căuta”

Finland has announced a ban on Russian athletes entering the country due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, stating it threatens international relations. This affects both neutral-status competitors and national team members. Upcoming events like the Grand Prix of figure skating and the World Cup of cross-country skiing will be impacted, particularly the World Figure Skating Championships in March. The International Skating Union is reviewing the situation and has called for clarifications from Finnish officials. Finland has committed to not competing against Russia in ice hockey championships and is set to host the European Athletics Championships in 2030, amidst ongoing restrictions on Russian participation.
