IOC clears Belarusian and Russian athletes to participate as neutrals in individual events at 2024 Paris Olympics, despite multiple international calls to uphold full ban imposed after the start of Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine.

The Olympic Committee’s decision on Russian and Belarusian participation in the 2024 Olympics was unexpected for Ukraine, but there is still a question over EU entry visas.
