Dr Neil Bentley-Gockmann, CEO of WorldSkills UK, said:
“WorldSkills UK fully supports the decisions taken by WorldSkills International and WorldSkills Europe to suspend WorldSkills Russia and to move EuroSkills 2023 from St Petersburg. We have ceased all of our bilateral work with WorldSkills Russia and suspended our international partnership.
“We continue to work with our peers across the rest of the world as we move towards supporting and delivering a successful WorldSkills Shanghai 2022 in October this year.”
