Dr. Una May:
Regarding Russia and Ukraine, the Minister made a clear statement and joined with all other European ministers to declare a position against Russia. That is the position that we have upheld. We have encouraged and supported all of our governing bodies to stand to that position.
Regarding Israel, there has not been a unanimous or majority suggestion in the same way as we had for Russia, where we saw a consistent approach across the board. Our Minister took the views of all the other European ministers and, together, they signed a guidance note to all sports asking them to not take part in events in those circumstances.
