Declaration of the former ownerJokerita » Harry Harkimo about the club’s performance in the KHL was done under pressure from the United States, says the three-time champion of the USSR in Spartak Alexander Yakushev .
Earlier, Harkimo, in an interview with Finnish media, said that he regretted the decision to enter the KHL in the 2014/15 season and play in the league for several years, calling it a “mistake “.
– Purely political statement. Today, due to the (political) situation, statements like this are starting. It’s disgusting to read. Everything was going well for them, everyone was happy. Now they have rebuilt, the Americans are putting pressure on them and they are doing everything as they please, it’s disgusting,” Yakushev told .
Jokerit has been playing in the KHL since 2014. In 2022, due to the political situation, the Helsinki club withdrew from the league.
