Russian oligarch who criticised Ukraine war has $1bn hotel complex seized

A Russian court has ordered the seizure of a billion dollar luxury resort belonging to a tycoon who criticised Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.

The court order to seize the Imeretinskiy hotel and marina in Sochi, owned by Oleg Deripaska, an aluminium magnate, came after he was urged by the Kremlin to stop publicly criticising the war, the Financial Times reported.

Mr Deripaska is one of the few Russian tycoons to have voiced cautious criticism of the invasion of Ukraine.

He tweeted in March, calling for peace, saying that “we have already passed a point of no return”. He also warned that “destroying Ukraine would be a colossal mistake”.

3. " He tweeted in March, calling for peace, saying that "

I read yesterday that Putin said invading Ukraine was NOT his fault.

IT will only get worse as long as Putin remains in power!!

5. Putin: "Those who OPPOSE me, kill them and seize their financial holdings."

With the economic sanctions put on Putin, he is desperate for money to finance his war. He is hellbent on destroying anyone who opposes him. Those who oppose such tactics, run the risk of being found DEAD if opinions are voiced. Those who admire such, are fucking crazy with fear if the opposite is true.

6. gee. maybe he would like to come here for protection.

7. How long before he has a fatal case of Gravity Flu?

8. Let's never forget, Deripaska is Putin's best buddy and also McConnell's best buddy.

Deripaska was the one who negotiated with McConnell to put an enormous aluminum plant in Kentucky.

Because what could go wrong if we gave Putin's best pal control over the USA's aluminum production?

Luckily, McConnell couldn't deliver on his promise to protect Deripaska against sanctions, so the project is on a permanent-seeming hold while Deripaska "looks for more investors."

10. Deripaska and Paul Manafort were/are buddies.. He is not a nice guy...nt

Deripaska loaned Manafort $10 million which in turn was "compromat" used by Constantine Kilimnik a known KGB spy to get info from the TFG campaign. Hummmmmm.

Love the term "Gravity Flu" btw...
