Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha criticized the Court of Arbitration for Sport for overturning the IIHF ban on Russian national teams for the 2026-2027 season. Sybiha said the decision stains the ice with Ukrainian blood and called on allied nations to bar Russian athletes from entering their territory. Ukrinform called the ruling unacceptable, and Sweden separately urged the EU to restrict Schengen entry for Russian skiers competing as neutrals in 2027.
