Sanctions
On February 23, 2022, he was added to the European Union sanctions list for actions and policies that undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine and further destabilize the country.[5][6]
On February 24, 2022, he was included in 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.[7][8]
On March 24, 2022, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he was added to the U.S. sanctions list for “being complicit in Putin’s war” and “supporting the Kremlin’s efforts to invade Ukraine.”[9][10][11]
The U.S. Department of State stated that State Duma deputies use their powers to persecute dissent and political opponents, suppress freedom of information, and restrict human rights and fundamental freedoms of Russian citizens.[12][13]
Subsequently, he was also sanctioned by the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Ukraine, and New Zealand on similar grounds.[14]
