Roman Abramovich is reportedly acting as a 'peacemaker' in the Russian war in Ukraine as he avoids Western sanctions in Turkey.
The Chelsea FC owner is said to have been jetting between Istanbul, Moscow, and Kyiv to relay messages between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. But when handed a note from the Ukrainian president outlining peace terms, the Russian despot reportedly erupted with fury, according to Daily Mail.
Abramovich has been trying to rescue his reputation after being slapped with sanctions by the UK and EU over his closeness to Putin.
His assets have been frozen across Britain and the Continent and he started a fire sale of London property as well as Chelsea football club. But his yachts and jets, which are worth hundreds of millions of pounds, remain out of bounds as they dodge sanctioned waters and airspace.
