2. Are there any problems with accommodation, transport, or training locations for the team?
Of course, as always happens, there are some glitches or overlaps at the beginning of the Games. However, all logistical and household issues are resolved promptly in a working order together with the organizing committee of the Games.
3. How does the NOC assess the level of readiness of the Ukrainian team as of today?
The National Olympic Committee of Ukraine assesses the level of readiness of the team as high. The athletes have completed a full training cycle and are currently focused on their performances and ready to compete for the best possible results. At the same time, it should be noted that the Ukrainian national team at these Games is represented by the largest squad in the last 16 years – 46 athletes, and this is an extremely important and indicative result in the conditions of a full-scale war.
4. Are there any athletes in the team with micro-injuries or a risk of missing starts?
Currently, there are no injuries among the athletes of the national team of Ukraine. At the same time, the Ukrainian medical service constantly monitors the health of the athletes, and currently there are no risks of missing planned starts.
5. Have Ukrainian athletes received recommendations regarding possible contacts with so-called "neutral" athletes?
Yes, Ukrainian athletes and delegation members received relevant methodological recommendations from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine and the NOC of Ukraine regarding behavior and communication during competitions, taking into account Ukraine's position and current recommendations of the international sports movement.

Our position remains unchanged: Ukrainian athletes avoid any public gestures of interaction with so-called "neutral" athletes, including joint photos, handshakes, joint training, and informal communication. This is a principled position of Ukraine and a manifestation of moral responsibility in the conditions of ongoing armed aggression against our state.
Thus, given the information received, we see that Ukrainian athletes are starting the competition without systemic problems and with a clear understanding of all conditions. Undoubtedly, Ukraine's participation in the Games is not only a sporting event but also an important symbol of the resilience and invincibility of the entire nation.
