Russian footballer Kovalenko may change citizenship: details of the transition.

According to inkorr.com: Propagandists report that promising Russian midfielder Alexander Kovalenko wants to change his citizenship to Armenian. This is reported by "Glavkom".

Negotiations on changing citizenship

Negotiations are currently underway regarding the player's transition to a new citizenship. If all goes well, Kovalenko could become part of the Armenian national team as early as 2026.

22-year-old Kovalenko has experience playing for the Russian national team. In 2022, he played 45 minutes in a friendly match against Kyrgyzstan. In the current season, Alexander has played 14 matches for the Russian club "Sochi".

Attitude towards political events

Some Russian athletes continue to support Putin's policies. For example, speed skater Alexandra Sayutina recently participated in events related to propaganda, causing outrage within the sports community.

This is unfortunately not the first case where athletes become instruments for supporting political goals, negatively affecting their reputation and public perception. It is important to remember the responsibility for one's actions, as athletes are public figures, and their actions have significant resonance.
