Demands from Abramovich for Victims of the War in Ukraine
December 17, 2025
Labour leader Keir Starmer urged Roman Abramovich to promptly pay £2.5 billion for the victims of the war in Ukraine. The funds remain frozen due to British sanctions. Disagreements exist between the government and Abramovich's legal representatives regarding the final destination of the funds. Starmer warned that the government is ready to take legal action if payments are not made. Abramovich stated he wants the money to go to all war victims without restrictions.
