A terse statement. This is how to sum up the few words published by Chelsea FC this Sunday about the War that broke out in Ukraine after the attack led by the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin. “The situation in Ukraine is horrific and devastating. Chelsea FC’s thoughts are with everyone in Ukraine. Everyone at the club is praying for peace.”can we read in the press release of the Blues.
A communication in which the words “war” or “conflict” are not used. It may not be a coincidence, Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch owner of Chelsea, being close to Vladimir Putin. Pressured by the British government, the billionaire has in any case made the decision to step back and delegate the management of the London club for an indefinite period.
