Russian oligarch and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich was poisoned while taking part in peace talks intended to stop his country’s war in Ukraine, it has been alleged.
The investigative website Bellingcat said on Monday that it had evidence Mr Abramovich, 55, who has been heavily sanctioned by the UK government over Vladimir Putin’s invasion, had “experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons” as he served as a go-between in talks in Kyiv on 3 March.
