Understand that the Chelsea sale funds are not far off being released. Both the UK Government and the Foundation awaiting the money both want Ukraine to benefit as quickly as possible now, especially given the recent destruction of the Kakhovka dam. 
The proceeds are frozen in a UK bank account after the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) issued a licence permitting Roman Abramovich to sell #CFC. Funds can't be moved or used without a licence from OFSI.
Humanitarian experts outside of Government are responsible for what is being termed a "highly complex process" to establish a Foundation to manage and distribute the proceeds for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine.
Once the Foundation has been legally and practically established, a licence application will need to be made to move the funds to the Foundation and the Government will assess this against the risks of sanctions circumvention.
