FAZ: Close Lukashenka and Putin in the Hockey Stadium in Gelendzhik

The world would be a better place in one fell swoop.

The German publication Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, which actively advocated the transfer of the World Ice Hockey Championship from Minsk, proposed holding the postponed hockey tournament matches in an underground stadium found in the palace of the head of the Kremlin in Gelendzhik. Naturally, Lukashenka and Putin will take part in the competition, and the German edition offered the head of IIHF Rene Fasel to judge the competition.

- More recently, there was talk about the organization of Donald Trump's farewell game of golf - with the hope of never seeing him again. And this week, the President of Russia's impressive property on the Black Sea Cape Idokopas was added to the freak show of sports facilities for potential political retirees. The drone flew over this gaudy monstrous dacha, and Alexey Navalny showed it in his film. And what caught your eye?

Exactly, an underground hockey stadium. After all, can't he afford that little? And, given the rather unpleasant general situation, here is a proposal for the International Ice Hockey Federation: let Putin and his hockey cousin Aliaksandr Lukashenka play there all the World Championship matches, which the ruler of Belarus just missed.

Let the Russophile judge from Friborg, Rene Fasel, monitor the observance of the rules. I would like to draw your attention to the following: Mr. Putin would have been on the ice as an athlete from Russia with a neutral status. And then close them there, please. This shouldn't be a problem, although these gentlemen know all about locks, seals, and lockouts. The world would be a better place in one fell swoop. Through hockey. Please, International Federation, do it.
