Abramovich es uno de los hombres de confianza de Vladimir Putin y se encontraba en una lista de posibles castigados con las sanciones previstas para Rusia.

En muchas de las competiciones deportivas nacionales e internacionales del fin de semana se ha protestado de alguna manera contra la guerra, y en las últimas horas, han sido varios los deportes que han mostrado su rechazo a la decisión de Putin con drásticas medidas.
