Last week, IIHF president Rene Fasel went to Russia to negotiate with Tretyak discuss the transfer of the championship no Belarusian to Russia, reported media “Sports Illustrated” journalist Ryan Kennedy. Official information on such a possibility has not yet sounded, stressed Latvian Hockey Federation (LHF) President Aigars Kalvītis.

The meeting with the IIHF management was also treated differently by Tretyak, who was asked about it by the media “sports.ru”.

“I returned from the IIHF headquarters in Switzerland on Friday. Everything remains valid now. We hope that Covid-19 will retreat and that Belarus will have the highest level of security,” Tretyak said.

“For now, everything is going according to plan and the IIHF Council is still supporting the organization of the World Cup in Belarus. [Krievijā], have not yet begun, “emphasizes the functionary.

It has already been reported that for the first time on Monday, the LHF leadership openly expressed its position on the events in Belarus, sending a letter to the leadership of the Belarusian Hockey Federation (BHF) asking it to explain the involvement of FHB President Dmitry Baskov in the crackdown on the opposition.
