zurab talks a big game but when it comes to actual votes, it's always "arkady looks after chess like it's a little baby, he must stay in power forever"
Given the recent attempts by certain individuals to portray themselves as guardians of Ukraine’s interests within the chess community, let us briefly return to the recent past and look at the outcome of the public vote at the FIDE General Assembly during the Olympiad and Congress in Budapest less than two years ago.
All countries on our ticket supported Ukraine unconditionally (Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Croatia, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands), while this was not the case for some other European countries.
It is particularly striking that Georgia and Greece did not stand fully with Ukraine, yet today their representatives are loudly lecturing others.
As our presidential candidate, @lukaszturlej , emphasized in his statement, self-congratulation has never been our style; however, since we are being pressed on the issue, we can also point out that our candidate for General Secretary directly provided legal assistance to Ukraine in the aforementioned CAS case.

shouldn't he be busy with the world championship tournament that starts tomorrow??
Aus Schachkreisen wird berichtet, dass Weltschachverband-Präsident Arkady Dvorkovich diese Woche in Brüssel Gespräche führen soll, um seine persönliche Situation im Zusammenhang mit dem möglichen 21. EU-Sanktionspaket zu erörtern.

He was in the press conference of @WadimRosenstein. I think Magnus presence was not intended.

I've released my own statement on the use of the FIDE flag for Russian teams on Facebook. I'll be making the same statement here, once I figure out how best to do that.

Again, what's the point of providing 12 seconds from fide budget if a player is not even in top 100? Why not to Erdogmus?

I don't think 12 seconds is a valid time control, unless that's the new fast classical 😉
