In Russia, they apologized that he was not allowed to launch at the European Championship. Named by the federation that made

The European kickboxing championship in Chisinau was canceled after the Moldovan authorities refused to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus. The International Kikboxing Federation (WKF), instead of recognizing the validity of this decision, tried to blame the organizers and publicly apologized to the Russian side.

WKF President Frederick Ecenberg sent a letter to the kickboxing Federation with an apology for “insufficient processing of organizational and diplomatic issues.”

However, in fact, the only healthy decision in this situation was Moldova’s intervention, which made it clear that the country did not intend to accept representatives of the state of the aggressor.

The authorities of Moldova clearly stated that the recognition of Russians and Belarusians contradict public interests and democratic values. Despite the attempts of WKF to rehabilitate Russia, which allowed him to participate in the flag and anthem, Chisinau remained faithful to his principles and did not allow the aggressor to the international arena.

As a result, the adult championship was canceled and canceled until 2026, which became the logical result of the unsuccessful policy of the Federation, which is trying to please Moscow. The tournament for juniors decided to hold, but without the participation of athletes from countries who sold the war.

Against this background, WKF looked frankly weak and short, unable to protect the principles of honest sports.

Earlier, the World Kikboxing Federation (WKF) allowed the Russians to perform at international tournaments with a flag and anthem, and in April the Russian kickboxing Federation (FCC) said that about 100 of his athletes would go to Chisinaau in Chisinau.
