In the UEFA Nations League in 2020, Shunin was briefly the first choice goalkeeper of the national team.^{[citation needed]}

On 11 May 2021, he was included in the preliminary extended 30-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020.^[12] On 2 June 2021, he was included in the final squad.^[13] He played the opening game against Belgium as Russia lost 0–3.^[14] He did not appear in the remaining games as Russia was eliminated at group stage.^[15]^[16]
