Ukraine is ready to participate in the Paris Olympics next summer even if neutral athletes from Russia and Belarus take part, Vadym Huttsait, head of the war-torn country's Olympic committee, said in a recent interview.
Earlier this year, Ukraine hinted it could withdraw from the 2024 Games if Russian or Belarusian athletes are allowed to compete, even under a neutral flag.
"Our athletes need to be at the Olympics," Huttsait said. "Our flag will be at the opening ceremony, at the competitions, our athletes will represent our state so that everyone in the world will see that Ukraine is, was, and will be."
