It's very ambiguous when you read it carefully.

Not sure it could be clearer? 

He's selling the club 

All loans (£1.5bn I believe) are wiped out 

Net profit of sale goes to charity for Ukraine war victims

He says victims of the war in Ukraine. Does that include Russians?

i think it’s all part of him trying to keep a lid on something very serious coming out 

I read this recently and a comment near the end about power and influence had me thinking about why blokes like Abramovich want to own high profile clubs.

On the face of it, his comments suggest that making money is not a consideration. Is he just a football fan who wanted a plaything or is it status related?

Abramovic once sued a journalist (and won) who said he had been ordered to buy Chelsea by Putin for sportswashing reasons

The Premier League says "The Premier  League and our clubs wholeheartedly reject Russia's actions and will be showing support for the people of Ukraine at all matches this weekend.

but no mention of the people of Yemen being bombed by the states that own Newcastle and Man City ...

For people with this amount of money, it's not about making more money I don't think, I've always presumed it's just a status thing.
