Roman Abramovich is reportedly trying to revive peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, days after $7 billion of assets with suspected ties to the oligarch were frozen

The peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are said to be in trouble.

According to people with knowledge of the matter, the Russian billionaire and ally of Putin traveled to Kyiv and spoke with Ukrainian negotiators about ways to resume peace talks.

A person forAbramovich said he was not in Kyiv.

The peace talks between the countries were halted after evidence of Russian atrocities came to light. Iryna Venediktova said last week that there are at least 5,600 cases of alleged war crimes.

Zelenskyy said that Russia is committing genocide in his country. The US has seen reports of indiscriminate attacks and attacks deliberately targeting civilians, as well as other atrocities, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

When it comes to peace talks, there is no stake in the matter for Abramovich.

The billionaire has been placed on several sanctions lists due to his ties to Putin. The Royal Court of the Island of Jersey froze more than $7 billion in assets that are believed to be linked to Abramovich.

A $98 million chateau is one of the properties that France seized.

He is trying to facilitate peace talks to get the unfreezing of his assets done so that he can save his business empire.

Vladimir Milov, Russia's former deputy energy minister, told Insider that he did not support the war and was devastated by blows to his international business empire.
