Russian billionaire paid for Putin's former teacher's apartment

TL;DR Summary
Newly unearthed documents reveal that Russian-Israeli oligarch Roman Abramovich paid for an apartment in Tel Aviv that was believed to have been gifted by Vladimir Putin to his high school German teacher, Mina Yuditskaya-Berliner. The apartment deal shows financial ties between Putin and Abramovich, which the oligarch has previously denied. Yuditskaya-Berliner died in 2017, leaving the property to the Russian Federation. Abramovich has been under sanctions pressure since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and has been seen in Israel several times since the war started.
