AS Monaco joins the list of donors to the Red Cross organizations who are providing relief to those suffering from the violence, war and associated deprivation in Ukraine. The Monaco Red Cross, the Diocese of Monaco, the Mairie of Monaco and the many kind residents of Monaco have all been contributing to humanitarian aid due to this crisis to relieve suffering both within Ukraine and also with respect to the broader refugee crisis.

It is reported in the French press that neither the club nor the Rybolovlev family trust wished to communicate on the exact amount of their donations, even if qualified as “substantial”.
Dmitri Rybolovlev has been a majority shareholder of AS Monaco since 2011. He has been a Monegasque resident since leaving Russia in 2010. The French press has noted that he does not appear in the list of personalities whose assets have been frozen by the European Union.
