The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has provisionally lifted its suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), marking a significant step towards Russia's reintegration into the Olympic fold ahead of the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the ROC was suspended in October 2023 for recognising regional Olympic councils in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine — Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

The IOC said on Tuesday its executive board had lifted that suspension, which will see Russian athletes back in many international competitions, including LA28 Olympic qualifiers, but had not yet decided whether Russia could display its flag and colours or have its anthem played at the Games.

We will continue to support Ukraine like we have since this started.
