In the wake of worldwide outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is attempting to arrange a solution to end the conflict.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Abramovich is already in Belarus, where Russian and Ukrainian officials will meet later Monday in the border town of Gomel.
Abramovich is thought to have arrived in Ukraine ahead of crucial discussions between Ukrainian and Russian authorities.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Russian-Israeli millionaire has been under pressure to speak out.
In the Ukrainian Parliament, there have also been calls for the 55-year-old.
But Abramovich vehemently denies he is close to the Kremlin or has done anything that would merit sanctions on him.
On Saturday, amid the mounting pressure, Abramovich announced plans to hand over the stewardship of his club Chelsea to the Blues’ charitable trust.
But today, in a surprising move, a spokesman for Chelsea has now revealed that Abramovich has been ‘trying to help’ in brokering a peace deal.
