Olympics chief responds to Ukraine’s boycott calls

The head of the Olympics has pushed back against Ukraine's demands for a boycott. Ukrainian officials have been pressing for athletes to be excluded from the Games, citing ongoing tensions. But the Olympics chief made clear that punishing individual competitors isn't the way forward. He argued that keeping the event open to all athletes aligns with the spirit of the competition. The response leaves the door open for further talks, though no compromise has been reached yet.
