We will fight": Russia will not stand still and ignore boycotts and non-issuance of visas to Russian athletes, said Mikhail Degtyarev in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the Vesti information system.
Teams that refuse to play against teams from Russia will start receiving technical defeats, he stressed.
According to Vladislav Tretyak, the actions of several Western countries in response to the acceptance of the Russian hockey team lead to the "collapse of the hockey world in general."
Earlier it was reported that Canada does not intend to issue visas to the Russians to participate in the World Junior Hockey Championship. At the same time, the state will not allow even those athletes who already have an entry permit. Finland also restricted visas for athletes from Russia, explaining its decision as a "threat to international relations" for the country.
