Russia-Ukraine war: Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the West. As an unofficial negotiator, he is tryin to find a solution to end the war.
Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, who is acting as Russia's unofficial envoy in talks with Ukraine, was told by President Vladimir Putin that he will "thrash" the Ukrainians, according to a report. The incident happened when Abramovich gave a handwritten note from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to Putin, according to British daily The Times.
“Tell him I will thrash them,” The Times said in an exclusive report. The article is behind a paywall, but as per the little details available, the note detailed Ukraine's conditions for ending the war.
Abramovich had accepted Ukraine's help in the negotiations to bring an end to the war which began on February 24. According to The Times, his plane took off from Istanbul to Moscow, where he met Putin and handed over the note to him, and then came back.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Monday that Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators suffered symptoms of suspected poisoning earlier this month after a meeting in Kyiv.
