Athletistic/Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev spoke about Russia being banned from participating in the 2025 Ice Hockey World Cup.

“I don’t think there’s anything to be surprised about. It’s not sports officials who decide, but slightly different people. In general, you don’t need to ask anyone. We are a country self-sufficient. All you need to do is “Mind your own business. The time will come, I think, soon enough, when everything will return to normal. And they will ask us to come back,” Pliushchev told Gazeta.Ru.

Earlier, journalist Elliott Friedman reported that the Russian team would not be allowed to participate in the World Cup.
