Later, a teammate of Russian hockey player from Polish club Zaglembe Maxim Sergeev, on condition of anonymity, confirmed to that the player was being held in Poland.
– In Poland, of course, Russophobia. They no longer know what to propose, but what is the United States doing? They give them advice! For some reason, they don’t touch Ovechkin! And Maxim is still a boy!
Why are they so brave, the Americans? Why don’t they attack Ovechkin? They won’t touch a strong athlete, but they will check all of that on those athletes. I will advise our athletes abroad: you were strong and you will be strong! And don’t open your mouth,” Ivanova said on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on the TV Match channel.
According to Polish media, the officers acted on instructions from the Lublin Department of the National Prosecutor’s Office, which was investigating the activities of a group collaborating with Russian intelligence. The detainee is 20 years old and has been in Poland since October 2021.
