Ukraine Advocates Ask Ottawa to Sanction NHL's Alex Ovechkin After Putin Commercial
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress is asking Ottawa to sanction and ban Alex Ovechkin over his appearance in a political advertisement supporting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Liberal MPs condemned Ovechkin’s support for Putin’s regime but did not call for him to be banned from Canada.
Ovechkin said he wants peace and participated in the advertisement because he was asked to do so.
