Ukrainian Paralympic team prohibited from wearing political uniforms

The International Paralympic Committee has prohibited the Ukrainian Paralympic team from wearing a ceremonial uniform featuring a map of Ukraine’s 1991 borders, citing “political” reasons. National Paralympic Committee President Valerii Sushkevych expressed disappointment, stating that the design symbolized Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The team has since scrambled to create new uniforms before the Milan 2026 Games, as the IPC enforces rules against national identity-related items.
