According to an exclusive report by the Telegraph on June 4, an official involved in Abraham's sale of Chelsea agreement, the government knew from the first day that funds may never be given to Ukrainian victims.

When selling Chelsea, Abu publicly expressed his hope that the money would be used for Ukrainian victims, including those from Russia. And this is something that previous British governments refused to accept.

An official who participated in the 2022 sale of Chelsea revealed to the Telegraph: "From the first day, we have been worried. We are very clear that this situation is possible. But there is really no other option at that time.

We decided to put the funds in a place he could not handle, and then set up a charity and ensure that the money can be used wisely. This delay has been a sign that the government has not invested enough resources in all aspects to deal with this obvious problem at the beginning."

A source explained Abu's current control over the frozen funds: "Abu cannot use the money, nor can he spend it, but he can prevent the trust from using the money. He currently refuses with 'the conditions for sale I agree to be not exactly the same as the conditions for the British government'."
