Russian millionaire and Roman Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich has been poisoned during talks with Russia in Ukraine earlier this month. The Wall Street Journal reports that it is suspected that Russian agents did this in order to disrupt the peace talks.
According to the report, Abramovich was poisoned by chemical weapons during the March 3 talks. Abramovich and two others, who had been in talks until 10pm, went to a hotel room to sleep. It is not yet clear where the poisoning took place.

Abramovich reportedly had red eyes, persistent tears, and peeling skin on his face and hands after the poisoning. But sources close to Roman say he is not in danger and is now back to normal.
Roman Abramovich also announced his presence in peace talks after Russia launched an offensive in February. He was frequently on the Belarus-Ukraine border and regularly flew in private jets to Russia, Belarus and Turkey.
Several actions have been taken since the start of the war against Roman Abramovich, who is considered a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Chelsea are facing a major crisis after Britain froze Abramovich’s assets in their country. Abramovich is also plotting to sell Chelsea.
