Recommendation 13

We find it incomprehensible that the Government have not yet resolved the problems around the promised use of frozen assets from Chelsea FC’s sale to support Ukraine. The unfulfilled promise made by Mr Abramovich at the time of the sale of Chelsea FC reflects poorly on him and the Government for not pushing for a more binding commitment. We urge the Government to use all available legal levers to solve this impasse rapidly so that Ukraine can receive much needed, promised, and long overdue relief. All of the funds should be spent in territories controlled by the Ukrainian government.
