Kyiv has imposed sanctions against Russian Paralympians who fought against Ukraine. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CPD), citing a Decree of the President of Ukraine, informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that among those who fell under the sanctions are fencer Vladislav Shynkar (who was deputy commander of the "Vostok" battalion), rower Anton Bushmakin (who fought near Avdiivka), and archer Tsyden Geninov (a tankman who participated in the offensive on Kyiv region).
The Kremlin has turned Paralympic sports into a propaganda tool, the goal of which is to legalize war criminals through sports and reduce international pressure on Russia.

The Ukrainian national team refused to participate in the closing ceremony of the 2026 Paralympic Games. The reason for boycotting the closing ceremony was the presence of delegations from Russia and Belarus at the festivities, who were allowed to compete under their own flags.
