Russian billionaire businessman Roman Abramovich has accepted a Ukrainian request to help negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, his spokeswoman said, ESPN reports. Word of Abramovich’s involvement in talks, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, first came from the Jewish News, which said Kyiv had reached out through Jewish contacts to seek his help.

“I can confirm Roman Abramovich was contacted by the Ukrainian side for support in achieving a peaceful resolution, and that he has been trying to help ever since,” an Abramovich spokeswoman said. “Considering what is at stake, we would ask for understanding as to why we have not commented on either the situation as such or his involvement.”

Abramovich, who is Jewish and has Israeli citizenship, was one of the most powerful businessmen who earned fortunes after the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. Forbes ranks his net worth at $13.3 billion.
