Heiko Maas believes such a tournament would be a PR gift for the usurper.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas spoke out for the abolition of the Ice Hockey World Championship-2021 in Belarus.
"Anyone serious about solidarity with Belarus cannot seriously wish to hold the Ice Hockey World Championship in this situation there. It would be the greatest PR gift for Lukashenka and a crushing blow to the demonstrators. I hope the organizers will see it, too," he wrote on his Twitter account.
Wer es ernst meint mit der Solidarität mit #Belarus, kann in dieser Lage nicht ernsthaft eine #EishockeyWM abhalten wollen. Das wäre das größte PR-Geschenk für #Lukaschenko und ein verheerendes Signal an die Demonstrierenden. Ich hoffe, dass auch die Organisatoren das einsehen.
