Everything the oligarch is saying is true. The oligarchs have no power to approach Putin and tell him to stop the war. Putin see the oligarchs as his boys because he made them who they are and they must remain loyal no matter what. The real people Putin are afraid of are the top Russian military generals and fellow KGB leaders. They are the only real threat to putin and even those guys are still afraid of questioning him because they know if he senses any iota of disloyalty they're finished.

Rare to see this form of brilliance on Nairaland these days. See many of the others that commented simply occupying space, while not even understanding the salient points from the article.

Worrisome!

Uk,USA and most of this European states are terrorists state

Most of this their sanction are baseless and simply a means to still Russian wealth like they did African's

The people been unjustly sanction has no direct influence on Putin infact if they do any how Putin can jail them, they can't call Putin and simply tell him to stop the war

Imagine punishing Micheal Adenuga, Obo papa etc because of Buhari? No be juju be that

All this will only increase Russian hatred for UK/US and it may even be counterproductive as some oligarchs will angrily join Putin and that will be justify by uk stealing Russians wealth

I agree with this. Sanctioning Russian business people because their country is fighting a war is the height of selfishness and unfairness. These people rather than in invest in Russia chose to do so in the West and see what they are getting in return. Chinese and some Arab billionaires will think twice on investing in USA/Europe.

Why can't these people talk to Putin?
Instead of lamenting, complaining...

The only mistake Putin made was he would have invaded Nigeria instead of Ukraine
Talk to Putin? grin They are scared for their lives.
Re: Mikhail Fridman Laments His Current Living Condition Due To Sanctions by Richy4(m): 7:51am On Mar 19, 2022
Since he knows that sanctions won't work on Russian leaders and those around the president,... He should have told the interviewers what might work... Or is he enjoying the war and the present situation that he found himself?

Talk to Mr Putin. He's the cause of your lamentation

How many people have talked to Nubari on the suffering he loaded on Nigerians. Sanctions will not stop the war. If America and other world powers can't stop Putin. His friends won't stop him. The world is fake. Keep to your head alone and serve your God.

E never start . Maybe his nairaland apologists would come to his rescue. No war is worse than sanctions because e go reach everyone. War can stop in a day but it will take ages for things to normalise economically in any sanctioned country.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Fridman said: "If the people who are in charge in the EU believe that because of sanctions, I could approach Mr Putin and tell him to stop the war, and it will work, then I'm afraid we're all in big trouble.

"That means those who are making this decision understand nothing about how Russia works. And that's dangerous for the future."

Fridman has also said that western powers do not understand that influencing the powerful figures around Putin will not work..

I so much love his submission here.

The western sanctions are to drive Putin's "boys" to turn against him. The west does not care how the sanctions will affect Russians, Ukrainians, or citizens of their own countries. They want Putin out at all costs even if it escalates to nuclear weapons

Which school did you attend? No wonder many of you guys never got a job and be blaming it on government. I wonder how somebody like you would pass any job interview, let alone secure a job.

Russia isn't Nigeria where the Middle class dominate and dictate the market forces. A poor man wouid shop where the rich also shop, buy the same type of car the rich buy and spread the payment as convenient, unlike here where you pay for everything before owning it. Same with mortgage. A poor man can settle the mortgage for his entire life, to enable him live his dream. Everyone is already affected by sanctions in Russia. Even those countries who didn't participate in the war are feeling the impact of those sanctions. When Western companies were leaving Nigeria in 2015, a lot of people including our government called their bluff , they bragged it was Buhari's body language that made them leave while some blamed it on the recession. They took all their money away in capital flight. Now, you know the effect on our economy and currency value. How much is the dollar today? I leave that to you to answer

This is not the case.
America warned Putin severally before the war, they even told Russians that their sanctions is not after them but to make Putin understand.
Putin is just a pharoah, America is playing god

A graphic definition of "e go reach everybody"
But sincerely, we have seen a lot of senseless sanctions on Russians that might not necessarily be connected with what is going on with Russia/Ukraine. Even russian investments abroad are not spared i.e. Chelsea fc and lots of others.
It really shows that the Westerners aren't really as smart as we perceive them to be.
Innocent people paying the price of some Government's decisions which they might even be against but without powers to stop.
Then it means Nigerians can always be punished for decisions made by Buhari whether or not they're in support of it.

All I know is Russia/Putin wiil never overrun kyiv.. wink

Let me see the plans Putin has..how will a sane person bring his country down just cos of his selfish interest..

When the West slapped Putin’s friends/cronies with sanctions back in 2014.. Russians expected the oligarchs to rebel against putin by staging a coup...Little did they know they are dealing with selfish beings..

Putin promised oligarchs they would get back every penny they had lost in the West because of the sanctions...
Ever since Russian citizens who suffered from two waves of inflation..the result of the collapsed national currency have been systematically ransacked to compensate for the frozen assets of the oligarchs in the West...

Government increased VAT from 18% to 20% and retirement age for men from 60 to 65 guaranteeing that the majority of men wouldn’t live to see a day of their retirement as their life expectancy now coincides with their retirement age...
All I am saying is..they are all the same.. sanctions or not the main victim here is the average Russian..the oligarchs are only concerned about their pocket.. nothing else..
Na talk you talk.
