Activism in Ukraine
Beginning in January 2015, Sablin was involved in the creation of an Anti-Maidan Russian nationalist movement.[2][8][4][9]
As of 22 April 2024, the UK MoD claimed that Dmitry Sables created a new BARS unit, a Bars Kaskad drone unit, far behind the front line for VIPs and Kremlin elite. With additional security, it allows VIPs to serve in Ukraine with a reduced risk of harm. On 16 April 2024, the husband of Russian blogger Yelena Blinovskaya, Alexei Blinovskiy served in it.[10]
Sanctions
On September 30, 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he was added to the U.S. sanctions list in response to "sham referendums" and the "annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russian occupation forces."[11][12][13] The U.S. Department of State noted that deputies unanimously adopted legislation on fake news, with some deputies playing a key role in disseminating Russian disinformation about the war.[14]
On December 16, 2022, he was included in the sanctions list of the 27 countries of the European Union for supporting and implementing policies undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine, as he "voted for the illegal annexation of Ukraine’s Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions."[15][16]
On February 23, 2023, he was placed on Canada's sanctions list targeting "regime associates," as he "voted for legislation related to the invasion and attempted annexation of four Ukrainian regions."[17][18]
Earlier, he was included on similar grounds in the sanctions lists of Switzerland, Ukraine,[19] and New Zealand.[20]
