Andriy Shevchenko, a former Chelsea player, has confessed that his relationship with the club’s owner, Roman Abramovich, would never be the same again due to the current Russian-Ukraine conflict.
Shevchenko was one of Abramovich’s first signings for Chelsea in 2006, three years after the Russian magnate gained control of the West London club.
Shevchenko, a Ukrainian legend, is now totally focused on carrying out his patriotic obligations as he seeks peace and assists his compatriots fleeing war-torn Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion.

The UK government has imposed sanctions on Abramovich as a result of his alleged ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he is desperately seeking to sell Chelsea.
“I said from the beginning, I did not believe that this [Russia vs Ukraine war] could happen,” Shevcnehko told the Daily Mail.
“We [Shevcnehko and Abramovich] had a long relationship and I don’t think it will ever be the same.
“But I also know there are a lot of Russian people who want to stop the war.”
