The sanction list includes football players Igor Akinfeev and Yuri Gazinsky, figure skater Mark Kondratyuk, gymnast Artur Dalaloyan, 2002 Olympics silver medalist in figure skating, choreographer Ilya Averbukh and many others.

– It does not interest me at all. I worked and I will continue to work in my native country, for the good of my country. I cannot react otherwise. The last time I was in kyiv was on my birthday, December 18, 2013. At the time when the bacchanalia on the Maidan took place. There was a crowded ice palace, which could not be approached, as the nearest metro stations were blocked. I still fondly remember those performances and how we were received in Kyiv,” Averbukh told .
