Athletistic/Basketball. Recently, many Russian athletes have not participated in international competitions. The Russian national basketball team and Russian clubs were notably subject to sanctions. The head of the FBI, Andrei Kirilenko, spoke about this.

– The last four years have been very difficult for us. Starting with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. In 2021, everyone returned to international departures, but in 2022 we started to experience political isolation. The fact that we are not participating on the international stage is a colossal blow to the level of basketball, a huge disadvantage. There is no point even arguing here. But even in such circumstances, one must look for positive moments.

We now have a unique opportunity to pay attention exclusively to ourselves,” SE quoted Kirilenko as saying.
