Poland detains 15 Belarusian, Russian athletes at karate championship

Polish authorities detained 15 Belarusian and Russian athletes who arrived in Bielsko-Biała for the 14th World Karate Championship among juniors, ordering them to leave the country. The move reflects Poland's restrictive visa and entry policies toward Russian and Belarusian nationals amid ongoing tensions. The incident is a localized enforcement action, not a major geopolitical shift.
