ASCERI condemns Russia's actions against the people of Ukraine and is therefore suspending temporarily the membership of its Russian sport associations with immediate effect, in line with the peaceful principles of ASCERI. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people during these terrible days. We express our support to all peace-loving Russian citizens who have rejected this senseless war and we regret that these measures also affect them. We hope that the war will soon come to an end and that we can welcome our Russian friends back to ASCERI.
