Understandably weak statement from ETTU - they don't even dare to use the word "war" let alone "Russian agression"...
The question now is not when ETTU will sanction the Russian association and clubs, but when others will sanction ETTU and its pro-Putin president.

The European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) shares concerns about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and hopes for its fast resolution.
ETTU is ready to help Ukrainian table tennis athletes and will be working hard to guarantee their participation at all future ETTU events.
ETTU supports the latest announcement of International Table Tennis Federation and will follow its recommendation as ETTU did during our latest event Europe TOP-16 in Switzerland.
ETTU believes in unity and mutual respect together with constructive dialogue as the solution to disputes.
The ETTU Secretary General is to set the number of ETTU events and suggest the plan for implementation of the ITTF recommendation taking into account all possible travelling issues.
Also ETTU would like to thank the Europe TOP-16 Local Organising Committee in Montreux for hosting a fantastic table tennis event.
