The International Olympic Committee have asked all International sports federations to stop flying the flags of Russia and Belarus at sporting events.

Federations are being asked to cancel all planned sports events in Russia and Belarus or move them to alternative venues..

Leading figures have condemned the attack by Russia and are offering their support to members of the sporting communities in Ukraine.

The European Union governments are uniting in their condemnation and placing sanctions on key people and organisations in Russia and Belarus. As the representative of ICSD in Europe, the EDSO have yet to show their hand.

The ICSD is an international Federation. Will they comply?
