Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin asked for “no more war” Friday in his first media availability since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Moscow native said he has “lots of friends in Russia and Ukraine” and hopes the attack will end soon.
“Please, no more war,” Ovechkin said. “It doesn’t matter who is in the war, Russia, Ukraine, different countries … We have to live in peace and a great world.”
Asked if he supported the invasion, Ovechkin replied: “I’m Russian, right? … It’s not in my hands.
