In 2021, the government of Ukraine imposed sanctions over Tatyana and Vladislav Bakalchuk and Wildberries for selling Russian military uniforms and anti-Ukrainian literature. In 2022, Poland also imposed sanctions on Wildberries and Bakalchuk because of the latter’s connections with VTB Bank.[3][4]
