Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska, a long-time Vladimir Putin ally, said Tuesday that it would be a “colossal mistake” to destroy Ukraine, the Daily Beast reports.
Speaking publicly at Moscow State University, the Western-sanctioned oligarch avoided placing any blame for the war against Ukraine and said anyone hoping for a regime change in Russia will be disappointed, according to video shared by RBC. “There’s no potential for a regime change,” he said, adding that “the [Russian] opposition preferred beautiful European views, and all that, they’ve retreated from the life of the country.” “To wait for Mikhail Freedman, or [Pyotr] Aven, or [Mikhail] Khodorkovsky to take up arms and bust into Bryansk on tanks—that’s unlikely,” he said, listing all the Russian businessmen who’ve spoken out against the war. Deripaska’s latest comments come after he made headlines in March, shortly after Russia’s full-scale Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, for demanding a stop to the war and warning of a possible nuclear accident.
Has he been “”reported missing”” yet?
Watch for a funeral announcement soon. Putin murders his political enemies. And like Stalin he even murders them when they have gone into exile so there is no fleeing.
Nonsense, comrade. Here, have a nice cup of tea.
Putin is a ohaiv yisroel. You sound like Lavrentiy Beria.
Not only an oheiv Yisroel, he’s doing exactly what Trump is doing in the US – eliminating the evil from the midst. יתמו חטאים מן הארץ ורשעים עוד אינם
Those who think differently are completely brainwashed from msm and have no idea what’s really happening in the world, and no doubt they took some of the modern weapon.
Down with Ukranian barbaric murderers !
