Arsen Galstyan, a Russian judo coach, is under fire for his online activity that appear to justify and support Russia's aggression against Ukraine. The international sports community is resolute in denouncing any form of support for actions that lead to conflict and war. Galstyan's online behavior endorsing aggression against Ukraine, contradicts the fundamental principles of unity, peace, and fair competition that sports stand for.

There is an urgent need to hold individuals accountable for actions that compromise the spirit of fair competition and global unity, ensuring that sports remain a platform free from political or military exploitation.
