Russia's doping suspension has been lifted - but the nation will remain banned "for the foreseeable future" because of the war in Ukraine, the World Athletics Council has ruled.
Ednews reports citing TASS that athletes have not been able to compete for Russia since November 2015 after state-sponsored doping was uncovered.
The Russian federation has been reinstated after meeting conditions set by World Athletics' Russia Taskforce.
But athletes remain excluded following Russia's invasion in February 2022.
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said: "The unprecedented sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus by countries and industries all over the world appear to be the only peaceful way to disrupt and disable Russia's current intentions and restore peace.
"The death and destruction we have seen in Ukraine over the past year, including the deaths of some 185 athletes, have only hardened my resolve on this matter."
