Hit your own so that the outsiders are afraid: Alexander Lukashenko was knocked down 0 17

The meeting of the Belarusian leader's team and the team from the Brest region took place the day before.

In the footage, a player from the president's team wearing number 68 — former member of the Belarusian national ice hockey team Yaroslav Chupris — accidentally bumps into Lukashenko, causing him to fall. Chupris helps him get back up.

Alexander Lukashenko commented on his fall: "It's a normal working situation: hit your own so that the outsiders are afraid. Everything is fine. I feel good, except for a muscle strain in my back. I'm preparing for the next game."

It is reported that the game ended with a score of 5:5. The decisive goal was scored by Nikolai Lukashenko — the son of the Belarusian president.
