Ukraine's participation in the Olympic Games is a victory for our spirit, will, and faith in the future. We call on the international community to continue to support Ukraine in the fight for peace and justice for the whole world," the statement reads.
Ukraine's slogan at the Olympic Games is The Will to Win.
