The Ukrainian Judo Federation will not send a representative to the World Championships in Qatar due to the reinstatement of Russians and Belarusians.

Ukraine is carrying out its threats. With Russian and Belarusian judokas having received the green light from the International Judo Federation to compete in the World Championships in Qatar from May 7-14, the Ukrainian Judo Federation has announced that it will not send any representatives to the Gulf country .

The Russians and Belarusians will participate in the competition under a neutral banner, but the Ukrainians claim that some of the athletes selected are active military personnel, which « contradicts the latest IOC recommendations ».
