Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Vova has been an integral, though often underrated, part of the team's success over the past few years. He consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and has stepped up every time he's been called on. I'm glad to continue working together, and excited to aim even higher.

Vladimir Karpenko, CSKA guard:

It's a great honor for me to continue my basketball career with the best team in the country, a team that's truly close to my heart. Every season in red-and-blue is a challenge for me to demonstrate my best qualities, improve, and make the maximum contribution to achieving my highest goals, and the next one will be no exception. I'm grateful to the management and head coach for this opportunity and trust! Thank you to our fans for their unwavering support! I also want to thank my family!
