The United Kingdom Has Sanctioned Roman Abramovich

The UK government has sanctioned Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

He is one of seven oligarchs who have been sanctioned with new measures including as asset freezes and travel bans.

Igor Sechin and Oleg Deripaska, both billionaires and Vladimir Putin's cronies, are also on the list.

"There can be no safe havens" for individuals who supported the invasion, Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated.

The government announced that it would give a special license that would allow fixtures to be fulfilled, employees to be paid, and current ticket holders to attend games.

Ministers have been pressed to punish Mr Abramovich, who said earlier this month that he had made the "difficult decision" to sell Chelsea FC.

The football club is one of the assets blocked as part of Mr Abramovich's punishment, and its sale has been put on hold.

The government may consider granting Mr. Abramovich a special license to sell the club if he can demonstrate that he will not profit from the transaction.

Mr. Abramovich, 55, is accused of having close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but he denies it.

Mr Abramovich, who has a net worth of £9.4 billion, is "one of the few oligarchs from the 1990s to maintain importance under Putin," according to the authorities.

Mr. Abramovich owns shares in Evraz Steel and Norilsk Nickel. In 2005, he sold a 73% stake in Russian oil company Sibneft to state-owned gas giant Gazprom for £9.87 billion.

He is thought to own a variety of properties in the United Kingdom, including a £150 million 15-bedroom home in Kensington Palace Gardens in west London.

Ministers will gather later to discuss whether or not to make Covid vaccines mandatory for NHS workers in England. Front-line NHS employees in England are required to be completely vaccinated by April 1st, which means they must have their first dosage by Thursday. They will be redeployed or terminated if they are not jabbed by April. Around 77,000 people have received no vaccination at all. Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, stated last week that the obligation for vaccinations was being "reviewed," but that it was the "responsibility" of NHS workers to get vaccinated. On Tuesday, he told the Health and Social Care Select Committee that the dominant version at the time the policy was published was Delta, and that it was appropriate to "reflect" now that Omicron was the major form. However, it is believed that no final decisions have been made. Some in the health-care system have lobbied the government to repeal the mandate, claiming that it would result in...

As a result of the conflict in Ukraine, a top food sector executive has warned that prices will rise. Food prices could climb by up to 15% this year, according to Ronald Kers, CEO of food company 2 Sisters. He also mentioned that the company's pricing for chicken from the farm has increased. Russia and Ukraine are two of the world's largest wheat producers, and the conflict is expected to have an impact on shipments. Furthermore, the price of gas has risen, which is used to heat greenhouses and produce fertilizer, both of which are critical to food production. According to some experts, war in the region is expected to worsen price increases that have already been occurring during what has been dubbed as a cost-of-living crisis. In the United Kingdom, 2 Sisters employs over 14,000 people and specializes in chicken and chilled meals. Its CEO claimed that the company had already been forced to pay 50 percent extra for poultry from farms. "Fundamentally, it implies as a count...

Boris Johnson arrives in the United Arab Emirates ahead of negotiations on energy supplies. Boris Johnson will meet with Saudi Arabian leaders later this week in an attempt to form a "international coalition" against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Prime Minister will speak about securing energy supplies from the region, stating that the world must "wean itself off" Russian oil and gas.

A number of MPs have asked the Prime Minister to postpone his visit.

Neighbor who is a gardener has been ordered to pay £250,000 to her wasp-allergic neighbour who sued her over a tree losing rotten apples into her Surrey lawn.  Antoinette Williams acted like a 'faculty bully' and displayed 'disgraceful' behaviour in the direction of Barbara Pilcher after the neighbours clashed over a forty-foot Bramley apple tree. Mrs Williams moved into her £600,000 cottage, in Dunsfold, close to Godalming, nearly forty years ago, whilst Mrs Pilcher sold the adjacent three-bedroom £500,000 cottage in 2010.  Mrs Pilcher sued her neighbour after the tree dumped rotting apples onto her garden every season, bringing swathes of wasps drawn to the fruit. However, what accompanied changed into a marketing campaign of centered harassment wherein Mrs Williams again and again stared at her neighbour thru a window, didn't prune the apple tree and saved a big stinky compost bin at the lowest of her very own lawn. Following a five-day trial at Central London Co...
