The Russo-Ukrainian war resulted in a ban on Russian skaters competing in any ISU competitions, from the 2022 World Championships through to the end of the 2024-2025 season, after which they were allowed with restrictions. As a result, the Russian stage of the international ISU Grand Prix, the Rostelecom Cup (named after the same sponsor as the national cup - Rostelecom), was cancelled. The same year, Russian officials renamed The Russian Cup as The Russian Grand Prix as a "replacement."
