💨 Abstract

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has until a deadline to transfer £2.5 billion ($3.25 billion) promised to Ukraine war victims from Chelsea FC's sale. The UK government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is prepared to enforce this through the courts. Abramovich, who sold Chelsea in 2022 due to sanctions, has not yet fulfilled his pledge. The funds are frozen, and negotiations have stalled.
