Ukraine will boycott the World Weightlifting Championship scheduled to take place in Moscow, Minister of Youth and Sports Matvi Bidani told Ulan Tashan. "Our general position is to participate in competitions so as not to leave the stage open to the Russians. However, this is an exceptional case, and naturally, our athletes will not go to Moscow. We'll see what happens in 2030 and whether they'll even be in a position to host these events," Bidney said.
