Russia will not withdraw its hockey teams from international tournaments, and the expectations for this from Moscow are "the apotheosis of hysteria", said Mikhail Degtyarev Lusti.

Teams that boycott matches with the Russian national team will face technical defeats, and countries that create obstacles to its participation will lose the right to host tournaments.

The statements by the Swedes that playing with the Russian national team will cause them psychological trauma are "simply idiotic".

"Such statements only show that the Scandinavian countries, the Baltic countries that joined them and now Canada are simply being marginalized in world sports," Degtyarev said.

Moscow will ask the IOC to take separate control of the situation with Canada, which does not want to include Russians in the World Youth Championships, and with Germany, which declares this at the upcoming World Senior Championships.
