Kristina Tsyrkunova, a Belarusian boxer contracted by the Sport Committee of the Armed Forces of Belarus and representing Dinamo, faces a significant hurdle in her international boxing career due to her involvement with the defense structures during Russia's fierce war against Ukraine.

Tsyrkunova's affiliation with the defense structures during the intense war raises concerns about her eligibility to participate in international competitions. The implications of her involvement in the war have ignited discussions about the ethical considerations and potential consequences for her sporting aspirations.

The decision regarding Tsyrkunova's participation in international events holds significance not only for her but also for the broader sports community. It prompts a deeper examination of the intersection between sports and politics, as well as the responsibilities and limitations faced by athletes associated with defense structures. The outcome will shape Tsyrkunova's future in the sport and may establish a precedent for other athletes.
