Czech leaders have condemned threats made by a former Russian president and prime minister against NHL great Dominik Hasek.

Medvedev's threats against Hašek followed Hašek's criticism of Alex Ovechkin for playing while the war in Ukraine continues, despite the ongoing conflict.

NHL legend Dominik Hasek has been a vocal critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since it began. This week, Hasek said he’s received death threats from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently deputy head of Russia’s security council chaired by Vladimir Putin.
