“I think some Russian players probably won’t like my words. Don’t watch or listen to this. I’m sure there are others like Ovechkin, but those who still have pictures of Putin on social media should be careful. This seems to indicate that he probably supports him. But I don’t know his opinion. Hasek said whether he supports this or not “He didn’t say it,” he said.
It is worth noting that at the end of 2017, Ovechkin founded Team Putin, a social movement supporting Russian President Vladimir Putin. The association supported Putin in the 2018 presidential elections.
