As the world coalesces around Ukraine at this time of urgent need, USA Fencing and its Athlete Council stand together in firm support of the IOC’s recommendation to ban participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competition, and we strongly urge the FIE to adopt the same. Our athletes continue to lead by standing with their Ukrainian brothers and sisters in sport. We embrace the active and compassionate community of Ukrainians in the U.S. fencing community, and we stand with them in this time of travesty at home, as their family, friends, and fellow countrymen resist Russian oppression. USA Fencing and our athletes encourage our community to join us in embracing the people and athletes of Ukraine and support their ongoing fight.  For those that are interested and able, we encourage you to direct your support through international relief organizations, such as Save the Children and the International Rescue Committee.
