Mr. Jonathan Hill:

To clarify, the sanction against Russia and Belarus came from UEFA and is still in place. There was discussion on the lifting of the ban for underage teams. In fairness to UEFA, all of the federations were asked for their view on this. We discussed this at board level and decided we were not necessarily comfortable with it and made our point.
