"In general, I'm not very easygoing." Shkrebneva goes on to say that Putin was being self-critical, outlining some of his flaws, including that he was the silent type and that he could be rather abrupt with some things and would insult people.The president's ex-wife said: "He was saying that he was a risky life partner.

Chelsea and the whole of football is a positive one.The Crystal Palace boss, who signed Chelsea defender Marc Guehi last summer and also has Blues forward Conor Gallagher on loan, made his comments after Thursday’s sanctioning of Abramovich.

whose assets were frozen by the British government Thursday over Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, and Mikhail Fridman, the sanctioned co-founder of Alfa Bank.He is also said to have cultivated relationships with Russia’s most important museum, run by a close associate of President Vladimir Putin.With Ukrainian artists and others calling for more sanctions in the cultural sector, such relationships may soon be under scrutiny, analysts say.The Gagosian Gallery in New York did not return The Post’s calls and an email seeking comment this week.Gagosian, who owns several galleries around the world, has long held close ties to Abramovich, the owner of the UK’s Chelsea football club, helping him and ex-wife Dasha Zhukova build up a massive art collection.

Chelsea should be stripped of every trophy they won with Roman Abramovich’s cash, according to football pundit Stan Collymore.The former England striker said the UK Government’s decision to freeze the oligarch’s assets over his links to Russian warmonger Vladimir Putin called into question all the club’s achievements during Abramovich’s two-decade ownership.If Chelsea’s success was built on access to "dodgy" money how could the 21 trophies won with Roman’s roubles be allowed to stand, he asked.Collymore, 51, who played for a string of top clubs including Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa before becoming a TV and radio pundit, said punishment should be retrospective as it would be for offences such as doping and match-fixing.He said though Abramovich, 55, legally took control of the club he had been sanctioned for his historic support of Putin therefore it was logical to consider retro penalties.It was "the only way for English football to restore sanity", Collymore added.He tweeted: "So the question now needs to be asked if Chelsea's loans, access to 'dodgy' money and sanctions against its primary source of funds for 20 years is now rubber-stamped how can titles won in this period stand?"The British Government only knew Abramovich was a Putin accolyte today? Not the other 20 years? Who's leading the security services? Inspector Clouseau?"When RA bought the club the love of a team had strings attached. An oligarch.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp agrees "100 per cent" with the UK Government's sanctions on Roman Abramovich.The Russian oligarch had his assets frozen on Thursday (March 10) which sent Chelsea, who he has owned since 2003, into a state of crisis.The Blues were able to proceed with their Premier League fixture against Norwich but there are serious concerns about matters off the pitch.Klopp has spoken out in support of the decision while also expressing his sympathy for those involved with the club, including his fellow German manager Thomas Tuchel."Thomas and I, we know each other, but we are not that close that we chat," he said."I feel for him and the players and all the employees at Chelsea because it's nothing they are responsible for but what happens around."One man is responsible for that and it's Vladimir Putin in the first place. "I don't know about Roman Abramovich's role in all these kind of things but over the years you could guess that maybe he's pretty close."And I then I think what the British government did is right to be 100 per cent honest but it is still not cool for all the people at Chelsea and all the supporters.What do you make of Klopp's comments?
