Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi will discuss Russia's possible participation in the Olympic Games at the summit, Sky News reports.

 The President of Ukraine will speak via video conference at the summit to discuss Russia's participation in the Olympic Games in Paris next year.

 Volodymyr Zelenskyі is to discuss at the summit the topic of reaction to the prospect of participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the Games, despite Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

 Earlier, the International Olympic Committee stated that it does not plan to wait for the Russian or Belarusian delegation in Paris next year. However, the committee still said that they would "study the possibility" of the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in competitions under neutral conditions.

 Minister of Sports of Ukraine Vadym Gutzait, who is also the president of the Olympic Committee, said that Ukraine may boycott the Games if Russian and Belarusian athletes are allowed to compete.

 Zelenskyi also stated that efforts to return Russian athletes to the Olympics "are attempts to tell the whole world that terror is to some extent acceptable."
