There is a large amount of criticism by a small minority of fans on this site and no doubt other sites towards our owner, the club and our fans at the moment and to be fair I'd be amazed if their wasn't.
This article will not likely satisfy them but should answer a few of their issues. If they bother to read it.

It appears Roman is involved though not in ways some suspect. It appears that Ukraine reached out to prominent Russians for support and to date he is the only one to respond and get involved and that is appreciated by those in the Ukrainian government. He may not be making statements but appears to be getting involved though the article does say that his influence is limited, as most of us would already believe.
This is nit intended to end any arguments I submit it purely as information in the hope it throws additional light on current stories.

Important to clarify that Roman has done nothing wrong and should not be made guilty by association.
But pressure on him will in turn put pressure on Putin. Put pressure on the oligarchs and they will turn on him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Opposition to Putin tends to get eliminated though it appears at least two are trying to influence him at least. One has had his assets frozen in the US I can't remember their names but I read an article this morning
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regular opposition to Putin gets eliminated but Roman, nor the other oligarchs are regular.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You either cross him or you don't, if you do there will be consequences natter who you are.

Let the be a reminder to you why he is doing this!
If he was innocent, he would not be looking to ditch Chelsea.
----------------------------------------------------
Or... if he's legitimately trying to find a diplomatic solution to stop a war, maybe he's got more important things to focus on than Chelsea at the moment?
Either way yes he's protecting the club, but he needs to protect the club because there's millions of people who think like you.

Devil it's just some idiot who doesn't understand how cancel culture works........or most things that is.......you know life/death etc, wouldn't even bother guys a moron

=================
Falsifying documents and stealing Russia's fuel (full train loads) to gain unlawfully financially is doing nothing wrong?
Ok, of course, blinkered view!
There is a reason why Roman is being approached by Ukraine.
Who is financing the Russia leader Putin? His mates the oligarchs!
But hey let's not divert from the truth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What would you know about the truth - it's totally alien in your vocabulary!

Football fans today are woke to the extreme. They speak and post only in order to appear righteous, not knowing that even their best genuine works of good are but filthy rags.
Even their legacies shall die.
Middle East owners, Chinese owners, American owners - all can be quickly associated with warmongering nations but all (except perhaps Newcastle's owners) are given free passes from lofty moral pedestals of hypocrisy.
Sickening.
