European Chess Union two days ago supported Ukraine and requested from FIDE General Assembly to keep sanctions against Russia and Belarus. Further on, ECU asked FIDE Council to demand the Russian Chess Federation to cease any operations in Ukrainian territory. In case of non-compliance, ECU urged FIDE to suspend the Russian Chess Federation with immediate effect.
