Ref.: Contribution in favour of the Fund for the the Elimination of Doping in Sport on

behalf of Ukraine

Dear Ms Ramos

Over the past three years, Ukraine has endured an unjustified war of aggression by the Russian

Federation. This war has claimed the lives of hundreds of Ukrainian athletes defending their

country, while many others have been forced to flee. Despite these immense challenges,

Ukrainians have strived to maintain their daily lives and work, including their efforts to combat

doping in sports. Several nations, including the three Baltic States and their respective National

Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs), have supported Ukraine and its NADO in this crucial fight.

Remarkably, even amidst the war, Ukraine has reformed its anti-doping system to uphold the

principles of fair sport.

To reaffirm our commitment to the fight against doping and to express solidarity with our

Ukrainian colleagues, the three Baltic States—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—have decided to

make a collective contribution to the Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport on Ukraine's

behalf. These contributions will be made in three equal parts by Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

However, we urge that they be recognized as a contribution from Ukraine.

Yours sincerely,

Heidy Purga
