Former biathlete of the national team of Ukraine Ekaterina Bekh received the status of a refugee in Russia.

Now the athlete is collecting the documents necessary to become a Russian woman again..

Recall that the two-time world champion among juniors fled to Russia immediately after the start of a full-scale war on February 24.

In April, it became known that three naturalized Russians were expelled from the women's team - Ekaterina Bekh, Olga Abramova and Oksana Moskalenko.

Since the beginning of the Russian war against Ukraine, these biathletes have been on the territory of Russia, and before that, the athletes were at the training camp in the Lviv region.
