According to British media i paper, the 2.5 billion pounds obtained by Abu's sale of Chelsea are still frozen in bank accounts. In the past 20 months, British government officials have met with Abu and his representatives only four times. The article

i paper stated that the British government provided the media with documents for communication between the two sides. According to the information currently available, only five emails have been from Abramovich or his representatives in the past two years. According to the email record, one of the meetings lasted only 30 minutes.

Based on the materials provided, before this meeting, there had been no meeting or communication via email.

According to previous reports, Abu was forced to sell Chelsea in 2022 due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and one of the main reasons for the freezing of funds is disagreement on how to allocate. Abu hopes that the money can fund all victims of war, including Russian soldiers, and also hopes to be used for other charity projects outside Ukraine. But the British government insists that the £2.5 billion can only be used for humanitarian causes in Ukraine.
