“I am absolutely sure that today our plans and tasks are to provide students of sports schools in the Donetsk and Luhansk republics with everything necessary to make them feel like members of a single sports family in Russia.

This applies to participation in competitions and training camps.

Creation of maximum conditions for discharges.

Coaches also need to grow and be educated and take refresher courses.

This is the foundation.


And professional sports are the next step.

We will think about this together with the State Duma, because, probably, it will be necessary to make changes to the legal documents.

But since the State Duma is now working quickly and efficiently, I think we will quickly solve all the tasks that the President of the Russian Federation and the government set,” Matytsin said.

Earlier, Matytsin announced the end of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) sanctions imposed on Russian sports in 2020.
