reported that the Moscow Kremlin Museums decided to suspend exhibitions in Europe until sanctions were lifted. The State Hermitage Museum announced the introduction of a one-year moratorium on exhibitions in the US and Europe, due to the aggravation of the geopolitical situation. The Ministry of Culture suspended the temporary export of museum items from Russia to foreign exhibitions. It is expected that exhibition cooperation with friendly countries will be restored next year.
