Kaja Kallas wrote about this on Twitter.

“Disappointed by the IOC's decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to attend the 2024 Paris games. Politically and morally wrong – time to strengthen isolation, not give in to Russia,” she tweeted.

At the same time, the Estonian prime minister added that sport is a tool of “the Russian propaganda machine, and to ignore it means to side with aggression.”

On January 27, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the neutral flag of Russian athletes was stained with blood and invited IOC President Thomas Bach to Bakhmut. Bach stated that he favored the participation of Russians and Belarusians in the 2024 Olympics, despite Ukraine's threats to boycott the Games.
On January 29, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had written a letter to his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron over the possible admission of Russians to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
