According to IRNA, the World Taekwondo Federation also strongly condemned the brutal attacks on the innocent people of Ukraine, which, contrary to the WT’s vision of “peace is more valuable than victory” and the global Taekwondo values of respect and openness.
In another part of this reaction, it is mentioned: In this regard, the WT took back the black belt of the 9th donation given to Vladimir Putin in November 2013.
Also, in solidarity with the International Olympic Committee, the flags and national anthems of Russia and Belarus will not be displayed or broadcast at World Taekwondo events, and the World Taekwondo Federation and the European Taekwondo Union will not hold or recognize any events in Russia or Belarus.
