In the video, Ovechkin throws American Shay overboard at the 2019 World Cup. So, the Ukrainians' latest attack on Obi will return to Kiev with a similar boomerang - Ukraine could be thrown overboard at the 2027 World Cup to make way for Russia. The IIHF has already announced that it will abide by the court's decision. The story is that the World Cup is for 16 teams, and all the places have already been allocated. In the spring they included Kazakhstan and Ukraine from the first division. Kazakhstan won first place, Ukraine - second. If Russia returns and the number of participants remains the same, some of the 16 will be forced to part ways. And according to the approved mechanism, the main candidate for elimination is the second team that came up, namely the Ukrainian team, for which this was supposed to be the first trip to the World Cup in the elite division since 2007. N. B - There is a second option: the IIHF will expand the number of participants in the World Cup for the sake of the Ukrainian, who during the last 4 years has politicized the sport beyond measure. GOOOOOOOOOL!
