The Paralympics leadership team is in dispute with the UK government over Russia’s reinstatement to the games, telling Sky News they will not ban countries from competing for launching wars. The UK was among 34 countries to sign a joint statement expressing “serious concern” that the International Paralympic Committee voted to lift the partial suspensions of Russia and its ally Belarus. The decision has not been explained until now, but IPC President Andrew Parsons told Sky it “is not linked to participation in wars”. #paralympics #russia #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
