In 2023, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine added two Russians to the list of persons who pose a threat to national security: singer Yaroslav Dronov (known under the pseudonym Shaman) and actor Oleksiy Kravchenko.

Interfax-Ukraine writes about this.

Not a single person was removed from the list in 2023. So, now it consists of 213 people.

• In 2022, four Russians were added to the list of persons who pose a threat to national security: Volodymyr Solovyov, Dmytro Kiselyov, Anna Semenovych and Dmytro Puchkova. At the same time, the Russian humorist Maxim Galkin was excluded from the list.
• In 2020, SBU blacklisted Russian TV presenter Kateryna Varnava. The Security Service of Ukraine explained at the time that it can remove a person from the list of those who threaten national security, "if during the period of the ban, data on the personʼs actions that could harm national security are not received."
