United States[edit]
In December 2014, the United States announced sanctions against the Night Wolves[24] due to their involvement in attacks on a gas distribution station in Strikolkove and the Ukrainian naval headquarters in Sevastopol, and recruitment of fighters for the war in Donbass.[24]
Canada[edit]
Canada added Zaldostanov to its sanctions list in February 2015.[25][26] The Night Wolves were included in June 2015.[27]
Banned entry to Germany and Poland[edit]
In 2015, when the Night Wolves were planning to celebrate the "Victory Day" on May 9 with a trip from Moscow to Berlin, the government of Poland refused them entry due to the club members' active support of Putin, and Germany cancelled the bikers' Schengen visas.[28][29] On their way to Berlin, despite visa issues, Night Wolves commemorated the deaths of Polish officers murdered by NKVD in Katyn by lighting candles in their name on 26 April,[30] despite the fact that Night Wolves and their leader are outspoken supporters of Joseph Stalin, who ordered the murder.[14]
Polish motocyclists organization 'Katyń Motocycle Raid' (families of the victims of the Katyń massacre do not wish to be associated with it[31]) criticized the ban and said that Night Wolves already made two such trips in the past, and Polish public opinion was divided on the decision, with 38.7% supporting it and 28.5% opposing.[32] After the ban, the Polish 'Katyn Motorcycle Raid' declared that it would light candles on the graves of fallen Red Army soldiers in the name of the Night Wolves.[33]
Bikers who wanted to enter Germany at the Berlin Schönefeld International Airport were denied entry.[34] On May 6, one member, who was trying to enter Germany by ship from Helsinki to Travemünde was deported to Finland.[35]
