Anthem Of Another State Played Instead Of Lukashenka Anthem Before Match Between "Yokerit" And Minsk "Dynama"

The fans of the Finnish team held a demonstration of solidarity with the Belarusians.

In Helsinki, the Lukashenka anthem was not played before the match of the CHL championship between "Yokerit" and Minsk "Dynama". After a long pause, hockey players and fans heard a different tune - it was the anthem of Palau (an archipelago state in Micronesia, located in the Pacific Ocean).

Belarusian state propagandists are outraged by such an act of the Finns, they believe it was a planned event.

In addition, the fans of the Finnish team held a demonstration of solidarity with the Belarusians - they were silent for the first 10 minutes. As a "gesture of solidarity with those whose voice was taken away".

"Yokerit" defeated Minsk "Dynama" in the KHL championship in overtime, 2-1.

It should be noted that previously, "Yokerit" fans opposed the club's trip to Belarus for a match with Minsk "Dynama". Last season, "Yokerit" refused to fly to Minsk. The match was to take place in September 2020. However, representatives of fans of "Yokerit" urged the team not to go to the match in Minsk because of the political situation in Belarus. In their view, it was better to agree to a technical defeat, unless the match was postponed. The management of "Yokerit" reported that the club had asked to reschedule the match earlier this week, but received a refusal. As a result, the CHL ruled a technical defeat for the Finns.
