Russia will replace Ukraine at the World Hockey Championship. This was announced by IIHF Council member Anders Larsson. In an interview with the Swedish evening newspaper, Larson said that Russia must return to the level it was at before the suspension. This means that the Russian national team will take the place of the team that recently achieved promotion to the elite league. Ukraine has become it. In the next World Cup, which will be held between May 14 and 30, 2027 in Germany, Russia will play in a group with Latvia, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Slovenia.
