💨 Abstract

The Kremlin criticized FIDE for upholding a ban on Russian and Belarusian chess players, attributing the decision to Western and Ukrainian pressure. The ban was imposed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. FIDE did agree to consider raising restrictions on junior and disabled players from the two nations.
