Vishy Anand Takes Charge Of FIDE As Interim Chief After EU Sanctions Dvorkovich
Kazakhstan Chess Federation President Timur: Five-time world champion and Indian legend Viswanathan Anand took charge of the International Chess Federation FIDE as interim president after its Russian head, Arkady Dvorkovich, was placed on the latest European Union sanctions list.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine, the EU and its coalition partners have adopted an impressive range of sanctions on Russia, and on Thursday, the European Commission welcomes the adoption by EU Member States of the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, which contains 218 additional listings, including 48 individuals and 170 entities - the highest number since the war started.
The measures include asset freezes and the prohibition to make funds and economic resources available and – in the case of individuals – to travel bans.
