Med anledning av Rysslands militära attack mot Ukraina har både galoppsportens och travsportens europeiska förbund gjort uttalanden.
Rysk ansökan stoppas av galoppsportens europeiska förbund
Svensk Galopp är en av 26 medlemsländer i EMHF (the European and Mediterranean Horseracing Federation). Även Ryssland har ansökt om medlemskap men EMHF har bestämt sig för att stoppa ansökan tills vidare. I ett pressmeddelande uttrycker EMHF också sitt stöd för den ukrainska jockeyklubben som tidigare var medlemmar.

Europeiska travunionen stänger av ryska företrädare
Inom travet har UET (Union Europeenne du Trot/the European Trotting Union) beslutat att stänga av företrädarna för det ryska travförbundet från deltagande i UET-kommitteernas arbete samt alla ryska företrädare från att delta i mästerskap som anordnas av UET. Dessutom kommer UET diskutera möjligheterna att helt utesluta det ryska travförbundet som medlem.

Andra initiativ
Dessutom har tränare, hästägare och föreningar tagit egna initiativ för att visa sitt stöd för Ukraina. Ett exempel är den brittiska galopptränaren John Berry vars häst Turn Of Phrase tävlade i Ukrainas färger i måndags.
