Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has stated that if Russia continues its war, Russian athletes will not be welcome in Finland next year. This comes after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that Russia could participate in the World Ice Hockey Championships. The Finnish public has shown strong support for banning Russian athletes due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
