The Ministry of Sports supports 2,161 days of training to prepare Ukrainian athletes in France for the Olympic Games in Paris. This is the symbolic side of the conflict.

While Russian athletes will not have the right to compete in the Olympics under the Russian banner, to avoid the glorification of a power accused of aggression, France materially supports Ukrainian athletes. Already, 14 courses in France have been offered to athletes from this country, in field hockey, para-badminton, track cycling, athletics, swimming.
