Key FactsAbramovich Battles for £2.35bn Chelsea Sale Funds
Mar 9, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: mirror.co.uk
  • Lawyers for Roman Abramovich insist the £2.35 billion from the Chelsea sale legally belong to him and will contest any government attempt to seize the funds.

  • The billionaire sold the Premier League club in 2022 after the Ukraine war began, due to his ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

  • The money is frozen in a bank account held by Abramovich’s company Fordstam Ltd and is intended for charitable use benefiting war victims.

  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer set a March 17 deadline to transfer the funds to a new Ukraine foundation, threatening legal action if not met.
  • Honour the commitment that you made and pay up now, and if you don't we're prepared to go to court and ensure that every penny reaches those whose lives have been torn apart by Putin's illegal war.
    — Sir Keir Starmer, in a statement urging Abramovich to honour his commitment and pay up; reported by The Mirror
