According to a recent report from Reuters, the country of Donetsk's home arena was destroyed by a Russian Missile attack on January third. This arena was home to the HC Donbass team of the Ukranian Hockey League who used to be apart of the Russian Hockey League, the KHL.

"So it is that since the start of the war, the Russian occupiers have destroyed five ice stadiums," the federation said on its Telegram channel, naming them as the Druzhba venue in Donetsk, arenas in Mariupol and Melitopol, the Ice Palace in Sievierodonetsk and now the Altair arena in Druzhkivka.

Ukrainian Minister Dmytro Kuleba released a statement regarding the attack which can be read below:

"I invite all sports officials who want to allow Russian athletes to compete in international events because, as they say, 'politics should be kept out of sports', to visit the Altair ice arena in Druzhkivka ruined by Russia's 'politically neutral' shelling," Kuleba wrote.

It's alleged that the Russian Military is targeting Ukraine's sporting events.
