Russian racer Anastasia Nifontova will not go to the Dakar Rally due to her refusal to support Ukraine

Nifontova will not take part in the race because of the declaration of solidarity with Ukraine and political neutrality imposed by the Dakar organizers. The sportswoman said that she supports her country and is not going to go to the rally on other terms.

But another "Dakar" participant from Russia - the navigator Konstantin Zhiltsov seems to be ready to meet the rally organizers halfway. He has already changed his sporting citizenship for the sake of participation in the race.
