The European Commission has proposed placing Arkady Dvorkovich, the Russian president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), under an EU visa ban and asset freeze as part of the 20th round of sanctions against Russia. Dvorkovich faces scrutiny for pro-war statements supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine, despite his official FIDE role emphasizing neutrality.
