The International Olympic Committee reacted immediately to the decision taken by the Russian Olympic Committee on October 5 to include as members the local sports organizations of Donetsk, Kerson, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia, which belong to Ukraine.
The International Olympic Committee does not allow the Russian Committee to function as the national Olympic Committee and thus will not receive money from the "Olympic Movement".
Finally, the IOC reserves the right to decide whether or not "neutral" athletes with a Russian passport will participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
