Russia became further isolated from the Western world Friday as sports bodies cancelled events planned in the country and some shops pulled Russian products from their shelves.
The moves came in reaction to Russian troops advancing further into Ukraine on Friday, as the capital of Kyiv was pounded with missiles.
International sports bodies moved quickly to strip Russia of events on Friday.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) urged international sports federations to either move or cancel sports events currently planned in Russia or its ally Belarus. The IOC also said the two countries’ flags should not be displayed at sporting events.
