Never mind the sale


Roman Abramovich sanctioned by UK




[Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich has
been sanctioned by the UK government as
part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
He is one of seven oligarchs to be hit with fresh sanctions,
including asset freezes and travel bans.

The list also includes billionaires Igor Sechin
and Oleg Deripaska, both seen as allies of Vladimir Putin.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said
"there can be no safe havens" for those
who have supported the invasion.

"Today's sanctions are the latest step
in the UK's unwavering support for
the Ukrainian people," Mr Johnson said.

"We will be ruthless in pursuing those who
enable the killing of civilians,
destruction of hospitals and illegal
occupation of sovereign allies."]
