Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich – the owner of Chelsea soccer club – has been noticed inside the Istanbul talks.
In footage broadcast by Turkish media, he’s seen sitting at a table alongside ibrahim Kalin – a interpreter for President Erdogan, and is sporting translation headphones.
He’s not at the main table of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations.
Kalin has reportedly helped coordinate meetings between the Russian oligarch and a member of the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul hotels.
The presence of Abramovich suggests he’s still involved at some level in the mediation attempts.
