Center of Krasnodar “Lokomotiv-Kuban” and the Russian national team Andrei Martyuk told that he was depressed by the situation in which the Russian national team was suspended from participation in international tournaments.
Martyuk is with the Russian national team at a training camp in Novogorsk. Since March 2022, Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from participation in tournaments under the auspices of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) due to the situation in Ukraine.
— Today, Russian teams and clubs are isolated. How do you personally perceive this situation?
— I would like to have international experience, so that in the February training camp we will play against Italy or France, participate in the World Championships, European Championships and qualifications. I would like to play against strong teams, champions, but unfortunately it is impossible now. It makes me a little sad,” Martyuk told .
