Germany's Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, sent a letter to the Union of Football Associations (UEFA), Aleksander Ceferin, demanding that Russia and Belarus' national teams be suspended from the EURO 2024 championship, according to German newspaper Der Spiegel. 

"Russia, which violates international law, and Belarus, a key ally of the Russian leadership, should be suspended from all international football tournaments," Faeser said in a letter, according to the newspaper. 

According to the minister, the football association should show unification against "human rights violations," arguing that "All perpetrators should be deprived of any opportunity to play sports, exert influence or represent themselves in any other way."

The UEFA Executive Committee in early May suspended all Russian teams from participating in international tournaments from 2022-2023.
