Ovechkin just appeared in a campaign video for United Russia — Putin's party. Standing next to him: Sergei Lavrov and Margarita Simonyan. Russia's Foreign Minister and its chief war propagandist.
Keep sports out of politics, they said.
But remember, @Capitals fans, Ovechkin doesn't support the war, he made an announcement in Philadelphia in 2022, his family is in danger, he is just an athlete, not a soldier, the way he whacks pucks with sticks amuses you, so who cares...
He is a goddamn war criminal, idiots.
@rmnb he has just endorsed a mass murderer at an 'election' in russia. I used to be your reader, but not since 2014 when ovechkin first supported russia's war against Ukraine
⚡️ Washington @Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin appeared in a campaign video for Putin’s United Russia party.
He stood alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and chief propagandist Margarita Simonyan.
Yes, but not just Ovechkin! Any Russian citizen, who does not officially condemn Russia's imperialist war, effectively serves as an advertisement for that war. And because of the competition (e.g. @NHL ) in which they participate, Ukrainian and Russian people will be killed.
Washington @Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin appeared in a campaign video for Putin’s “United Russia” political party - alongside Kremlin officials and war criminals. But people in DC will still be wearing jerseys with Ovechkin’s name bc “sports are separate from politics.”

Everyone in this photograph has chosen to officially support Russia's imperialist war in Ukraine. Among them are also hockey player Ovechkin and former hockey player and national team captain Fetisov. Because of each of them, many Ukrainians and Russians will be killed.
This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see.
We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas.
We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.
Meet Victoria Talkington — one of Leleka’s steadfast donors. A Ukrainian flag hangs in her home, signed by frontline medics — an unexpected gift that made her cry. She came to Ukraine not through heritage, but conviction: the invasion was wrong, and she could help.
Thank you💙💛
Thousands of boys and girls have been murdered by russia.
Not only does russia not feel remorse — they brag about it.
They are modern nazis, eager to exterminate people, based on their vile chauvinistic policies.
If they aren’t stopped, this will spread further west.
A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.
35 years ago, Ukraine declared independence. Today, Ukrainians are still fighting to keep it. To mark the anniversary, we're auctioning a Ukrainian flag signed by Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov. Every bid funds frontline medics.
Auction opens👇https://t.co/gsL4OkbSy5
Notes from the Front
Despite everything, we keep going. Two fully assembled tactical medicine backpacks are now in the reliable hands of Mykhailo and his colleagues — already at work on the Kharkiv front.
#FrontlineMedic#NotesFromTheFront
June 2026 in numbers—every one represents a medic better equipped to save a life.
Thanks to you, Leleka delivered $189,964 in tactical medical supplies to frontline medics in Ukraine.
Every delivery can mean the difference between life and death. Thank you for making it possible.
