Russia Deploys New Drone Attacks on Ukraine

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recommended allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutral athletes in international competitions, but will make a decision on their participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics at a later time. The recommendations include barring teams from Russia and Belarus, barring athletes who actively support the war, and monitoring the implementation of the recommendations. The IOC sanctioned Russia and Belarus after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Ukraine has threatened to boycott the Paris Olympics should Russian and Belarusians be allowed to compete, even as neutrals.
