Abramovich launched a counterattack on the British government. Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov writes about this in his telegram channel.

The expert recalled how the other day British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, under threat of trial, demanded that the billionaire transfer the billions received from the sale of Chelsea to Ukraine. At the same time, he cited a report by The Times that Abramovich hired the world's best team of lawyers to protect his assets, which includes the former shadow Attorney General of England and Trump's former legal adviser.

"But the most important thing is not even that! The newspaper says that during the court hearings, Abramovich obtained payment of part of his legal costs from the government of the British island of Jersey, where his capital is stored! The businessman intends to receive about 2.5 million pounds from him!" the expert wrote.

He added that "the British have clearly not yet understood who they have contacted."

"Well, an interesting legal rehearsal of legal actions in case the Europeans still decide to withdraw Russian assets frozen in Brussels! Remember how Kaya Callas convinced the Belgian prime minister to agree to take full responsibility for this robbery: they say, don't be afraid, no court in Europe will take the side of the Russians! Now let her tell it to the government of the island of Jersey! And at the same time he will pay court costs out of his own pocket," Kornilov concluded.
