Keir Starmer has discussed using the £2.5 billion frozen proceeds seized from Abromavich after the sale of Chelsea FC to help Ukraine, President Volodymr Zelensky has said.
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the club after being sanctioned by the UK for his connection to Russian President Vladimir Putin, following Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Before the sale in 2022, Abramovich said that he would set up a war victims' charity, but hasn't followed through.
