‼ Ukraine will demand the cancellation of the 2030 World Weightlifting Championship in Moscow, - Ukraine is preparing official appeals to the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) demanding to reconsider the decision to hold the 2030 World Championship in Moscow. The Minister of Youth and Sports Matavi Bidani also plans to raise this issue at the international level. This was announced on Facebook by the Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, Matvi Bidny. According to him, Ukraine will call on the IWF to cancel the decision to grant Russia the right to host the World Championship and to hold a new and transparent election of the host country. "We are preparing official appeals to the International Weightlifting Federation and the International Olympic Committee regarding the shameful decision to grant Russia the right to host the World Championships in 2030," the minister said. The minister emphasized that holding international sports competitions in the territory of a country that continues an all-out war against Ukraine is unacceptable. According to him, the federation's decision seems especially cynical against the background of increasing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructures on the eve of winter. "For the Kremlin, such a championship will become a tool of propaganda and political rehabilitation of Putin," Bidney said. And we are on Facebook, Instagram, X, Tik-Tok, YouTube.
