The SKGB in support of the current situation in the Ukraine will cease sporting relations with Russia, meaning that we will not participate in any matches where Russia are involved.
We cannot condone the actions of the Russian Government and feel we must support the Ukraine during this devastating time.
This is a matter of principle, and we support all other organisations who have acted similarly from within the sporting community and beyond.
