There's hysteria on the farm right now. The Ukrainian national team will be kicked out of the 2027 World Hockey Championship to allow Russia to enter. In 2022, the International Hockey Federation itself approved a mechanism according to which Russia, after a suspension, should return to the elite division instead of the team that takes second place in the first division and goes up to the elite. This year Ukraine became such a group. Now the IIHF is obliged to abide by the CAS decision and deny Ukraine its first World Cup in 20 years, allowing Russia to meet MAX GASPARYAN instead.
