Reminder: Harlan, who was disqualified from the World Championship in Italy for refusing to shake hands with a Russian woman, has received automatic admission to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The executive committee of the International Fencing Federation later suspended the "black card" for the Ukrainian fencer.  Ukrainska Pravda is the place where you will find the most up-to-date information about everything related to the war in Ukraine.
