The NHL's action was called "a spit in the face of the murdered, wounded and abducted Ukrainian children"

The legendary Czech hockey player Dominik Hasek strongly criticised the decision of the National Hockey League (USA) to let the son of Russian Alexander Ovechkin on the ice before the All-Star Game. 4-year-old Sergei appeared at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise (Nevada, USA) and threw a symbolic boule.

In total, 9 Russians took part in the All-Star Game, which was a historic record for this event.

"The NHL has hit rock bottom! Letting Ovechkin's son on the ice at the NHL All-Star Game is spitting in the face of the approximately 500 people killed, thousands wounded and tens of thousands of children abducted. The NHL and Gary Bettman must pay for this disgusting act," the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic champion wrote.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the occupiers from the Russian Federation have forcibly taken about 14,000 Ukrainian children from the territories temporarily under their control.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, after the start of the full-scale invasion, Ovechkin, who founded the Putin Team movement, refused to speak about the war in Ukraine. For this reason, Gashek called the Russian hockey player a "cowardly sh*t".
