This Thursday there is nothing else to talk about. Russia has decided to invade Ukraine and the rest of the countries have already warned it that this act will have consequences.

He arrived in London in 2003. Billionaire Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea, which went from being a perennial contender to winning every possible title at club level. His links to Vladimir Putin, and the Ukraine-Russia crisis, will prevent him from living in the UK or applying for British citizenship.

The Russian, among Putin's accomplices

The Russian has been caught in the middle of the conflict, according to Daily Mail quoting The Sun. The Russian oligarch owns Chelsea and, notes the British newspaper, will never be able to live in Britain.

The United Kingdom considers Abramovich one of the 35 "accomplices" of Vladimir Putin, one of those who have allowed his regime to spread. For this reason, they refuse to allow him to live in the country.

On Tuesday, his name was among 35 oligarchs identified by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny as Putin's main backers, something Abramovich denies. That of Arsenal investor Alisher Usmanov also appeared. The British Parliament supported sanctions for them, and the Home Office as well as Immigration officers are tasked with preventing them from settling in the UK.

The owner of Chelsea got in 2018 the Israeli nationality. Thanks to this, he was able to reside for six months in Great Britain.

Moreover, according to this information, he used this Israeli passport again recently, in October 2021, to travel momentarily to London.

Abramovich applied for a residence permit in England in 2018, but it is not going to succeed. Security sources in Britain claim that any application to reside in the country will almost certainly be rejected after what happened in Ukraine.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss explained in Parliament, "We have a long list of accomplices to the Russian leader's actions. If Russia refuses to withdraw its troops, we will have to increase the pressure and target more banks, elites, and major companies. The intention is to damage Putin and degrade the Russian economic system over time, targeting those close to Putin."

Roman Abramovich also has other businesses

In addition to Chelsea, he owns a mansion worth more than 150 million euros, superyachts such as the Solaris (valued at more than 540 million euros), and a company, Evraz, a mining and steel giant listed on the London Stock Exchange. The bulk of his fortune was made by acquiring and selling public assets of the Soviet Union when it was dissolved.
