Statement from International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach:
The IOC is following the political,
economic and social developments in Ukraine with the greatest attention
and growing concern. Also the situation of Ukrainian athletes, including
those who have so successfully represented their country in the recent
Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, which has dramatically deteriorated.
For all these reasons I repeat my appeal of Sochi to all political leaders involved to enter into a summit dialogue in the Olympic spirit of mutual respect and peace.
To help the Ukrainian athletes – wherever they come from in Ukraine and whatever their background – and to mitigate their difficult situation, the IOC has established an emergency fund of USD 300,000. This fund is to be used for the benefit of the Ukrainian athletes, through the NOC of Ukraine, for training and competition purposes.
