Ukraine imposed sanctions on March 15, 2026, against 10 Russian Paralympic athletes for their involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine and promoting Kremlin propaganda. The President's Office stated these athletes participated in the invasion and used sporting events to justify Moscow's aggression. On the same day, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) recognized 23 representatives from the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee, the Government of Italy, regional administrations, and host cities for the successful delivery of the Paralympic Winter Games. The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games concluded on Sunday, March 15, with the final alpine and cross-country races, including the men's and women's 20km interval start at Tesero Cross-Country. Earlier, during the games, concerns emerged regarding the amount and quality of snow at venues, with global warming raising questions about hosting winter sporting events in March. Athletes reportedly competed in shorts, T-shirts, and tank tops due to "tropical" conditions, leading some to question if the Games should be scheduled earlier. A snowboarder specifically complained that soft, slow snow put him at a disadvantage.
