Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea in 2022 after he was sanctioned by the UK government.

The funds were meant to be used for humanitarian causes linked to the Ukraine war .

But the funds remain frozen in a UK bank account and have not been released.

Labour ministers are coming under increasing pressure to meet Abramovich 's representatives.

There have been talks about programmes to help orphans of Ukrainian soldiers and cover health, housing and education needs for those fleeing the war.

A report by a House of Lords committee last year said the government's failure to release the funds to support Ukraine was "incomprehensible".
