"Belarus remembers better than anyone the consequences of the terrible, destructive war. This is why our country has once again offered to host peaceful negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Belarusian athletes, the entire sporting community of the country, and all citizens of Belarus want only one thing - peace and harmony in the world! We call upon the entire international sporting community to unite and truly remain an Olympic family in the most difficult of times. It is necessary to prevent the incitement of discord, anger and hatred within the sporting community and to set an example of unity and commitment to peace for politicians of all countries,” NOC said.
