Roman Abramovich warned as Chelsea fans urged to challenge him amid Russia's Ukraine invasion

Historian at Oxford University Timothy Garton Ash has urged Chelsea fans to make a stand against owner Roman Abramovich at future Chelsea games in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Speaking under parliamentary privilege after Russia president Putin launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine, the MP for Rhondda Chris Bryant said that Abramovich should be “no longer able to own a football club in this country” after reading an excerpt of what he claimed was a leaked 2019 document from the Home Office.
