Billionaire Told to Keep His Promise

Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire, is in hot water. The UK government wants him to keep his word. He promised to give £2. 5 billion to help people affected by the war in Ukraine. This money comes from selling Chelsea Football Club. But the government says he hasn't done it yet. Three years ago, Abramovich sold Chelsea. He said the money would go to a charity. This charity would help victims of the war. But now, the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, says Abramovich needs to act fast. Starmer warned Abramovich to pay up or face legal action.Abramovich made his fortune in oil and gas. He bought Chelsea in 2003. He spent a lot of money on the club. But in 2022, he had to sell it. This was because of his ties to Vladimir Putin. The UK government gave him a special license to sell. But he had to promise not to profit from the sale. The UK government wants the money to go to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. But Abramovich says it should help all victims of the war. This includes Russians too. The money is still legally his, but he can't access it because of UK sanctions. Starmer says the government is ready to take Abramovich to court. He wants Abramovich to honor his commitment. The clock is ticking, and the government is serious about this.
