Ahead of the NATO summit: Selensky calls for softening of sanctions against Russia

Meanwhile, Volodymyr surprised Zhelensky with an unexpected request. The President of Ukraine has called on US President Joe Biden not to allow one of the most popular Russian oligarchs at the moment. It primarily refers to the internationally acclaimed Roman Abramovich as the owner of Chelsea FC.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the US Treasury Department was ready to release Abramovich in early March, but was told to wait by the White House. But why is Zelenskyy intervening here on behalf of a Russian oligarchy? Abramovich, who has a close relationship with Vladimir Putin, thinks he is with them. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine Would be helpful.

However, it is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that there was no reason to believe that the oligarchy had helped in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the invasion.

NATO summit in Brussels: New sanctions against Russia?

It is questionable whether Abramovich will be an issue at today’s NATO summit. However, Joe Biden also went to Brussels to attend. In addition to possible arms supplies to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, there should be talks about how NATO can improve its defenses against Russia in the long run. (CS)
