Earlier in the day, the Russian embassy in Berlin reported that the German Deaf Sports Association, in coordination with the German government, has refused to ensure the admission of Russian athletes to the European Deaf Youth Games, which are scheduled to take place in Hannover in August. The German Deaf Sports Association has cited as justification that the German people would allegedly "not agree with Russia's participation in the competitions," the embassy added.

Russia Condemns Exclusion of Athletes From Germany Games: Russian MFA
17:01 20.07.2026 (Updated: 17:13 20.07.2026) Russian athletes were not allowed to compete in Germany in connection with Russia’s fight against Nazism, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik on Monday.
"I would like to remind the German Deaf Sports Association that without our country’s efforts, people with disabilities in Germany might never have gained the right to form associations and engage in athletic activities. Our athletes are being unjustly punished merely for carrying the flag of a country that has consistently and comprehensively opposed Nazism throughout its history," Zakharova said.
Earlier in the day, the Russian embassy in Berlin reported that the German Deaf Sports Association, in coordination with the German government, has refused to ensure the admission of
Russian athletes to the European Deaf Youth Games, which are scheduled to take place in Hannover in August. The German Deaf Sports Association has cited as justification that the German people would allegedly "not agree with Russia's participation in the competitions," the embassy added.
