Scandalous Ovechkin Forbidden from Communicating with Russian Press.

The NHL has decided to prohibit Russian hockey player Alexander Ovechkin from giving interviews to Russian media during the summer break. This came about due to the filming of a movie about him, reports The Insider.

Ovechkin is to be protected from Russia

The ban only applies to exclusive interviews, while press conferences and obligations to sponsors remain intact. This means that Ovechkin will not be giving exclusive interviews even to Russian media throughout the summer. The NHL wants to focus attention on the upcoming film.

It is worth noting that Olexander Ovechkin recently set a new NHL record by scoring 897 goals, surpassing Wayne Gretzky's record. Additionally, the athlete's wife, Anastasia, plans to return to Russia after the season ends in the U.S.

At the same Time, other Ukrainian athletes, such as Yana Klochkova and Yuliya Levchenko, are also in the public eye, but for other reasons. Each of them continues their careers and achieves new successes in sports.
