Former biathlete of the national team of Ukraine Ekaterina Bekh restored Russian citizenship.

The 24-year-old athlete said this in a comment to Match TV:.

" Next season I plan to compete at Russian competitions. I will train as part of the Moscow Region team with Alexei Viktorovich Nuzhdov.

I'll try to get through to all the main competitions"

Recall that in April last year it became known that three naturalized Russians were expelled from the women's team of Ukraine - Ekaterina Bekh, Olga Abramova and Oksana Moskalenko. All of them were in the Russian Federation when the war began.

Beh, who was born in Russia, took Ukrainian citizenship in 2018..
