Belarus President’s team wins first game of final series of Republican Ice Hockey League

The team of the Belarusian President won the first game of the final series of the Republican Ice Hockey League. In Minsk-based Olympic Arena the team of the head of state beat the Minsk Oblast team 5:2.

After the march the President talked to reporters.

Aleksandr Lukashenko watched live coverage of the return of the Belarusian cosmonaut Marina Vasilevskaya and other members of the Soyuz MS-24 crew from the International Space Station and shared his emotions.

“The heaviest emotions. Because I didn’t sleep well last night. I watched the undocking of the reentry module live,” the President said.

When asked whether he was worrying, Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “When your kids are in outer space, you will understand what it means when a Belarusian woman, a citizen of Belarus is in outer space. Certainly, I was responsible for anything that may have happened, god forbid. This is why I am certainly glad that everything went routinely. I rewatched the footage several times. I am very pleased that everything is over. And I thought to myself: well, I will not play this game anymore.”
