# Russia men's national under-21 volleyball team

The Russia men's national under-21 volleyball team represents Russia in international men's volleyball competitions and friendly matches under the age 21. It is ruled by the Russian Volleyball Federation, an affiliate of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) and of the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV).
In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Volleyball Federation suspended all Russian national teams, clubs, and officials, as well as beach and snow volleyball athletes, from all events. The European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) also banned all Russian national teams, clubs, and officials from participating in European competition, and suspended all members of Russia from their respective functions in CEV organs.
