[22] Gubarev was sanctioned by the United Kingdom on 25 July 2014 in relation to his actions from earlier in 2014.[23]
In October 2014, Gubarev's car came under gunfire in a planned attack. Gubarev lost control of the car, and sustained a head injury in the resulting crash.

In May 2023, Gubarev became one of the leaders of the newly-founded Russian pro-war ultranationalist group the Club of Angry Patriots.[33]
In November 2023 Gubarev, publicising his new autobiography, spoke to Russian bloggers in interview. Gubarev spoke in detail on how the Donetsk People's Republic was created and managed under full control of Moscow represented by Vladislav Surkov, with local members of the criminal fraternity appointed as its "officials", such as Alexander Zakharchenko.[34][35]
