Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday imposed sanctions against over 80 Russian athletes and representatives of sports organizations, APA reports citing TASS.
The sanctions, which include a ban on the issuance of a Ukrainian visa and a ban on entry into Ukrainian territory, were introduced for a period of 50 years.
The move comes amidst tensions between Ukraine and Russia, which have heightened over the past year since Moscow launched its military operation in Ukraine.
