Mayor of Paris: "Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be welcome in the city. We support the Ukrainian people"

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has addressed athletes from aggressor states ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games.

"I want to tell the Russian and Belarusian athletes that they will not be welcome in Paris, and I want to tell the Ukrainian athletes and the entire Ukrainian people that we support them very much," Hidalgo was quoted as saying by the Bombardier telegram channel.

As a reminder, the Ukrainian national football team will start its Olympic Games on 24 July with a match against the 3rd Asian qualifying team.
