(Reuters) - Russian Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin said on Wednesday that Russia would invite "friendly countries" to take part in its national university games, at a time when its own athletes remain sidelined from competitions over Moscow's war in Ukraine.
"This year we are holding the All-Russian Universiade in early July, where we will invite universities from countries that are friendly to us," TASS news agency quoted Matytsin as saying.
