In March 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the month before, Chupkov and his fellow Russians were banned from all LEN competitions indefinitely.[55] The next month, he and the fellow Russians were further banned, this time by FINA from all of their competitions through the end of 2022.[56] These bans prevented him from regaining his world record in the long course 200 metre breaststroke the same year, at the 2022 World Aquatics Championships or the 2022 European Aquatics Championships, after it was broken in May 2022 by Zac Stubblety-Cook of Australia.[55][56][57] Additionally, times swum at other competitions were banned from counting towards world rankings and world and European records, so even if he had achieved a new world record time it would not have counted as a new world record.[58] The FINA (since rebranded as World Aquatics) ban was back-actingly extended in April 2023.[59]
