2012-18年担任俄罗斯副总理的世界国际象棋组织（FIDE）负责人阿尔卡迪·德沃尔科维奇（Arkady Dvorkovich）在接受美国出版物《琼斯妈妈》采访时谴责了这场战争。他在俄罗斯境内一个秘密地点说：“战争是生活中最糟糕的事情。任何战争。任何地方。包括这场战争”
March 14 (Reuters) - International Chess Federation (FIDE) chief Arkady Dvorkovich, a former Russian deputy prime minister, decried wars on Monday, saying they go beyond killing people.
"Wars are the worst things one might face in life ..., including this war," Dvorkovich told Mother Jones in an interview. "My thoughts are with Ukrainian civilians."
Dvorkovich, who served as a deputy prime minister in 2012-2018 following a stint as the top Kremlin economic adviser to then-President Dmitry Medvedev, said he remained in Russia.
"Wars do not just kill priceless lives," Dvorkovich was quoted as saying. "Wars kill hopes and aspirations, freeze or destroy relationships and connections."
