Sanctions

On February 23, 2022, he was included in the European Union's sanctions list for actions and policies that undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine and further destabilize the country.[7][8]

On February 24, 2022, he was added to Canada’s sanctions list of "close associates of the regime" for voting in favor of recognizing the independence of the "so-called republics in Donetsk and Luhansk".[9][10]

On March 24, 2022, in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he was sanctioned by the United States for "complicity in Putin’s war" and "supporting the Kremlin’s efforts to invade Ukraine".[11][12][13] The U.S. Department of State stated that members of the State Duma use their powers to persecute dissenters and political opponents, violate freedom of information, and restrict the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Russian citizens.[14][15]

On similar grounds, he was sanctioned by Switzerland on February 25, 2022; by Australia on February 26, 2022; by the United Kingdom on March 11, 2022; by New Zealand on March 18, 2022; and by Japan on April 12, 2022.
