International Chess Federation leader resigns amid sanctions
The President of the International Chess Federation, Arkady Dvorkovich, immediately ceased his duties after being incorporated into European sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He described the decision as "illegal," reaffirming his intention to appeal.

Meanwhile, international pressure on Russian sports continues, including the suspension of Russia's membership and sanctions against Russian sports officials.
