La decisión de la Federación Rusa de reconocer a las “oblasts” de Donetsk y Luhansk como repúblicas independientes de Ucrania, y la posterior invasión de este país por las fuerzas armadas rusas con el apoyo de Bielorrusia, ha generado un amplio rechazo en los países occidentales. Además de las medidas administrativas adoptadas y de las declaraciones de condena provenientes desde muy diversos sectores, entidades no gubernamentales como la UEFA, FIFA, IIHF, IHF, Euroleague Basketball y muchas otras han tomado acuerdos tendentes a excluir a entidades rusas y bielorrusas de sus respectivas actividades.

The Russian Federation’s decision to recognise the Donetsk and Luhansk “oblasts” as independent republics of Ukraine, and the subsequent invasion of Ukraine by Russian armed forces with the support of Belarus, has generated widespread rejection in Western countries.
