Ponikarovsky does not exclude that he will play for Russia
Former Ukrainian who took Russian citizenship, may play for the national team of our northern neighbor.
"If we receive a proposal, of course, I will consider it. Everything depends on the situation. If I can - I'll play [for Russia].
At the Olympics, unfortunately, the Ukrainian team isn't going, losing in the qualifying round. At the international level, I played in Salt Lake City [for Ukraine] in 2002. An unforgettable experience that will stay with me forever.
I do not look far into the future...I don't see it happening...But of course, if they offered, I would love to go and play [for Russia], "- said Alexei Ponikarovsky.
