Russian aggression towards Ukraine also affected Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, better known as the owner and main investor of London's "Chelsea" club. R. Abramovich led the club to unprecedented heights, but after the incidents in Ukraine, he decided to temporarily withdraw from the club's activities. In an official statement, the Russian stated: "In my 20 years as the owner of 'Chelsea,' I viewed my role as a caretaker of the club, whose job was to ensure that we would be successful, what we are today. Also, to create the future of the club, positively contributing to our communities. I always made decisions that are best for the club. I remain with these values. Therefore, today I am passing the care of 'Chelsea' club to the club's charity foundation. I believe they are currently in the best position to defend the interests of the club, players, staff, and fans," - said R. Abramovich in an official statement. Most likely, Roman Abramovich will remain the owner of London's "Chelsea" club for some time, but it is certainly not ruled out that there may be an attempt to sell the club to more powerful hands in the future. The recent years have been very successful for the "Aristocrats," as they managed to win the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. Tomorrow, the London team will compete against "Liverpool" in the League Cup final.
