Președintele Federației Internaționale de Șah se suspendă din funcție după noile sancțiuni UE împotriva Rusiei

Arkady Dvorkovich, FIDE president, voluntarily suspended his duties after being sanctioned by the EU due to the Ukraine invasion. He called the decision illegal and plans to contest it. The sanctions could disrupt FIDE's operations, prompting Dvorkovich to step down until a resolution is reached. Vice president Viswanathan Anand will serve as interim president. Dvorkovich expressed confidence in FIDE's continuity despite challenges. His suspension comes ahead of upcoming elections, where he intended to run for re-election.
