Ukraine Paralympic chief says will quit Games if Russia invades


SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Ukraine's Paralympic chief said on Friday his team would quit the Winter Paralympic Games if Russia invaded his home country, adding that he hoped the competition would be able to spread peace instead.

Russia is holding the Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi at a time when it is being criticised for its actions in Ukraine's southern region of Crimea, where the West accuses Russia of seizing military and government institutions.
