In this monologue, the creator—an entrepreneur and financial‑education influencer—addresses the growing political pressure to seize Roman Abramovich’s assets, including Chelsea Football Club, as part of the broader sanctions regime against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. He explains the rationale behind the sanctions (freezing Russian bank assets, banning Aeroflot, limiting UK deposits, etc.), notes recent high‑profile cancellations such as the Champions League final and the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and stresses the principle that every action provokes an equal and opposite reaction. Throughout, he declares his personal support for Ukraine, opposes war, and urges viewers to use their social‑media influence to spread a “Stand by Ukraine” message, share the video, and comment. He also warns about fake images circulating online, urging balanced consumption of media. Near the end, he briefly promotes an upcoming NFT preview, positioning it as a separate but related initiative. The overall purpose is to inform viewers about the sanctions landscape, motivate political activism, and remind the audience of his broader content offerings.

So there's calls and pressure for Chelsea Football Club to be seized from Roman Abramovich, for Roman Abramovich to have all of his assets seized, and one would assume forced out of the UK back to Russia. Now, um, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I'm sure you've heard that saying, and And this could be, um, very relevant in the Russia-Ukraine war that we see going on right now. There's a big pushback, and I think this is important to discuss. Before I do, I just want to say the reason I'm doing this video is because I stand by Ukraine. and I do not believe war is ever the answer. Using my social media channels, um, responsibly and for good. Now, I'm an entrepreneur, and I teach people to start and scale their business and get better financial education. But then when there's more important, wider political and world issues I endeavor to use my social influence for positive change. Maybe what I say will make no difference at all. I'm sure Putin is not watching my lives. I'm sure he's a bit bloody busy right now. But I stand by Ukraine because I don't believe that war is the answer, and I believe that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and you are seeing that now. So if you also stand by Ukraine, and if you also feel that war is not the answer, I would politely encourage you to hit the share button right now and let's try and flood social media with 'Stand by Ukraine' and with a positive message, because we actually can make a difference. I used to think there's no point petitioning, there's no point campaigning, because let's be honest, no one's going to listen. I've changed my tune on that, I suppose because I now have more followers and fans, you know, across the world, so I have a little bit more influence. But actually, on the important issues in life that we stand against, we must speak up. I stand against governments illegally seizing and freezing assets in Canada. I stand against that. I stand against the cancel culture. Of trying to cancel Joe Rogan and independent creators, you know, because mainstream is dying. I stand against that, and I stand against war, and I therefore stand by Ukraine. So let me tell you what's going on. So, um, there's talk from a Labour MP, and there's a lot of pressure to seize assets, seize and freeze assets from Roman Abramovich, take Chelsea back and, you know, therefore move him on, Roman Abramovich, to Russia. There's been a fair bit of corruption accusation that surrounded him and his buying of political influence. Now, I don't know Roman Abramovich, I can't judge that, but I'm just updating you. The Champions League final got stripped from Russia, the Formula 1 Grand Prix got stripped from Russia. So now there's going to be great financial and economic backlash towards Russia And Putin is certainly not going to, um, you know, move his troops into Ukraine and do what he's doing without massive consequence of that. Um, so companies like BP, big global companies, are being pressured to sell their stakes in Russian companies and exit. Western nations are implementing many sanctions, and Putin and other leaders of Russia their assets linked to the UK are being frozen. Um, so I'll just list some of the sanctions. All major Russian banks to have their assets frozen. Laws to stop Russian companies and the state raising finance. Asset freezes on newer individuals or entities. Russian Aeroflot airline will be banned from the UK. Export licenses suspended. A stop to exports of high-tech items. A limit on deposits Russians can make into UK bank accounts. There is now this big pushback on all these sanctions. How is war ever the answer? Now, there have been a lot of fake and false images shared on social media. I do have to say, with a caveat, I'm not in Ukraine and Russia. I don't know what's going on on the ground. I can only see what's in the media. I try and get a balanced view, but there's certainly a lot of, um, scaremongering and false and fake images out there. But it does seem pretty clear that there is, um, an invasion from Russia going on. I don't think that can be denied. Um, so try and stay balanced. However, I just can't see how war is the answer, uh, and I think it is important that there are consequences to actions. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and therefore the reaction to, um, you know, the invasion of Ukraine It's only just started. It'll keep going. And no Champions League, no Formula One, sanctions on bank accounts, seizing and freezing of assets linked to the UK, a restriction in economy, and travel completely restricted, um, to the EU, the US, and the UK. So yeah, this is what's going on. So step one, please let me know what you think is really going on in the comments and what you think we should do about it, because I get thousands of comments on my posts And I read as many of them as I can, and I think that, you know, people do start to see our commentary on social media and we can make a difference. And quick summary, that— ah, step 2, please share this content. Please make sure that, you know, we, we share this with as many people as we can. Perhaps Chelsea will be seized from Abramovich, perhaps his UK assets will be seized. Certainly Champions League final already cancelled. F1 GP already cancelled, and sanctions all over the place for restricting pretty much all trade between Russia and, you know, NATO, US, EU, UK, Canada, etc. So thanks for tuning in, really appreciate you.
