The IIHF has finally made a difficult decision on the ongoing protests across the country against Belarusian dictator Aliaksandr Lukashenko.
In the near future, IIHF leaders will decide whether Latvia can host the planet’s priorities on its own or whether it will have to turn to another European country for help.
“This is the right decision, because there is a political struggle in Belarus. This decision is not related to the desire to harm A. Lukashenko. You must first think about security. We all know perfectly well what is happening there. What is the World Cup in a country with so much chaos? ”- tribuna.com Olympic champion D. Kasparaitis said.
The Lithuanians did not hide that they did not imagine a different solution.
“We just realized that ordinary people, not politicians, would suffer the most. The nation always suffers from politics. I can’t imagine American hockey players going to a country where things like this happen. Safety is paramount, both for athletes and tourists. Playing in Belarus would be the same as hosting the World Cup in Chechnya during the war, ”said the legend.
