According to CCTV News quoted By Reuters, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich participated in the ongoing fifth round of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul on the 29th.
Earlier this month, the British government imposed a series of sanctions on Chelsea club owner Abramovich on the grounds of "ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin".
On March 27, local time, four bidders who were finally shortlisted for the Premier League Chelsea club will submit the final offer on April 11, and the government previously stipulated that chelsea clubs will eventually change owners before the end of next month.
Rennes Group, the commercial bank responsible for handling chelsea auctions, has informed four final bidders from the United States that they must submit the final bid price the day before the second leg of chelsea's match against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. Previously, Rennes Group said that the ultimate successful bidder must commit at least £1 billion to future investment in the club.
Earlier in March, Russian billionaire Abramovich and at least two senior members of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation developed symptoms of poisoning such as "red eyes, persistent tear pain, and peeling of the face and hands", citing Reuters and the Wall Street Journal.
In response, a Ukrainian negotiator said that "there is a lot of speculation, all kinds of conspiracy theories" and called on people not to believe "unverified information".
A U.S. official said that according to intelligence, the cause of Abramović's and Ukrainian negotiators' illness was "environmental factors," not poisoning. The Russian Kremlin has not responded to a request for comment at this time.
According to foreign media reports quoted by overseas networks, the news of "suspected poisoning" was first published by the Wall Street Journal in the United States, and the news came from the United Kingdom-based open source intelligence website "Bellingcat". The Beling Cats have repeatedly smeared Russia. Russia Today pointed out that the website claims that Russia was involved in the "nerve agent poisoning incident" of former Russian spy Sergei and his daughter Yulia in 2018, as well as the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navani in 2020.
