Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich is fighting hard to restore
peace between Russia and Ukraine.
A spokesperson for the Chelsea owner said the billionaire
businessman is looking for ways to broker peace between his country and
neighbouring Ukraine
Abramovich is under pressure to speak out against Russian
President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
Just last weekend, the Russian-born billionaire announced
that he was giving up his ‘stewardship and care’ of Chelsea.
However, it appears the 55-year-old is actually attempting
to orchestrate a peace deal after Ukraine reached out to him via his Jewish
contacts within the country.
“I can confirm that Roman Abramovich was contacted by the
Ukrainian side for support in achieving a peaceful resolution, and that he has
been trying to help ever since.
“Considering what is at stake, we would ask for your
understanding as to why we have not commented on neither the situation as such
nor his involvement,” Abramovich’s spokesperson told the PA news agency.
Also a Ukrainian film producer, Alexander Rodnyansky said
that Abramovic has been trying to mobilize for peace talks between the two
countries.
“I can confirm that the Ukrainian side have been trying to
find someone in Russia willing to help them in finding a peaceful resolution.
“They are connected to Mr Abramovich through the Jewish
community and reached out to him for help,” said Rodnyansky.
He said the Russian businessman has been doing his best to
mobilize support for a peaceful resolution ever since.
“Although Mr Abramovich’s influence is limited, he is the
only one who responded and taken it upon himself to try,” he added.
He said he was not certain if the billionaire businessman
would be able to make any positive impact that could end the war.
The war that broke out on Thursday has claimed many lives
already as it enters the sixth day. A meeting between Russian and Ukrainian
delegates on Monday ended with no tangible conclusion.
