Roman Abramovich reportedly received a message from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to Vladimir Putin. According to the Times, however, the Russian president reacted with disdain.
The war in Ukraine has lasted more than a month and a peaceful solution is still not in sight. Russian President Vladimir Putin still shows no signs of withdrawing his troops, and negotiations between delegations from both sides have remained fruitless. Earlier this month, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich also participated in negotiations in Kiev.
According to a report in the British Times, Abramovich received a handwritten message from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In it, Selenskyj is said to have named his conditions for a peace with Russia. The report does not explain what the exact conditions are. At a meeting in Moscow, Abramovich handed the note to Putin. According to the Times, however, he bluntly refused: “Tell him I’m going to destroy them.”

Abramovich was also present at the new round of Russian-Ukrainian peace talks in Istanbul. However, the businessman is not an official member of the Russian delegation, but must ensure “certain contacts” between the two sides, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Zelenskyy said Russian businessmen had offered to help Ukraine avoid sanctions. According to the American newspaper “Wall Street Journal” (WSJ), the Ukrainian president asked the United States not to impose sanctions on Abramovich.

Previously, there were reports that Abramovich and members of the Ukrainian delegation could have been poisoned. According to the WSJ, Abramovich and the Ukrainians showed “symptoms of suspected poisoning” after a meeting in the Ukrainian capital Kiev this month. The three men suffered from bloodshot eyes, painful tears, and peeling skin on their faces and hands. The symptoms would then have subsided again.

Ukraine denies poisoning rumors
However, the Ukrainian side rejected such reports. All members of the negotiating groups are working normally, said Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podoliak. Abramovich himself has not made any public statements about a possible poison attack. The Kremlin described the reports of alleged poisoning as part of an “information war”. The New York Times wrote on Tuesday that Abramovich’s case appeared to be common food poisoning.
