The Russian Hockey Federation is hoping to ensure teams left in the KHL playoffs are fully supportive of their country's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

"The support of their own during the war is the only possible reaction of a normal person," said the RHF in a letter sent to all teams in the KHL.

The letter, shared online by reporter Karl Mansson who covers the KHL for HockeyNews.se in Sweden, also includes samples of propaganda teams can use during home games.

A response to Mansson noted several fans of the KHL took to a Russian social media platform to express their disgust with the instructions.

Russia has been essentially cut off from the rest of the world online with platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others being banned in the country since the outset of the invasion of Ukraine.
