EU Slaps sanctions On Chelsea Owner Roman Abramovich by HonNL(op): 4:09pm On Mar 15, 2022

The European Union has slapped sanctions on Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich as part of a new package of measures targeting Russia.

The EU included the Russian oligarch in its updated list of individuals facing assets freeze and travel bans over their role in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The 55-year-old Abramovich had already been punished in Britain by Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s administration last week. The aluminum magnate was among seven wealthy Russians who had their assets frozen under British sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich has also been suspended as director of the Premier League club.

The EU said Abramovich “has had privileged access to the (Russian) president, and has maintained very good relations with him. This connection with the Russian leader helped him to maintain his considerable wealth.”

Do you know that chelsea in the 90's was bought for 1POUND!!!!!!!
1 fucking pound by ken Bates

Before selling it to Abrahimovic for 30 million pounds.
FROM 1 POUND TO 30 MILLION POUNDS
Major Finesse

The funny part is thst they said Chelsea had issies due to the hooligan nature of Chelsea fans. Even in the 1980's till now Chelsea

No wonder Agberos feel a strong connection with Chelsea.

These people are full of hypocrites

They are all hiding behind America to carry out their sanctions

We all know that Russia is bigger than the whole Europe put together

The same thing Russia is doing in Ukraine was what US did in Libya but I blame AU and African presidents for failing Libya

Look at how Europe is rallying round Ukraine

African leaders should take this as a challenge and put their house in order

How will African be selling it's resources to developed countries at giveaway prices and be importing the finished goods at exorbitant amount

There should be massive industrial revolution in Africa

If not,these parasites will continue to use African countries and intimidate Africans

Putin dines on an extremely long table with his top military guys but he won't think it twice to share a couch with Abra, there are couple of pictures of them smiling and talking so closely. So goes a lot to show they're more than friends.

A chelsea Fan tho
