Russian oligarch: We can't change Putin's mind about ukraine war

One of Russia's richest men has said that imposing sanctions on oligarchs has no impact on Moscow's decision on the war in Ukraine.

Billionaire banker Mikhail Freedman said at a press conference in London that the war was a tragedy for both sides.

But he stopped short of direct criticism, saying personal remarks can be a danger not only to himself, but also to staff and colleagues.

He joins another businessman, Oleg Deribaska, in calling for peace. Both are the most prominent oligarchs speaking out against the Russian invasion, now on day six.

Born in Ukraine before the break-up of the Soviet Union, Fridman was the founder of The Largest Russian Private Bank, Alpha, and runs the investment firm LetterOne, which has broad interests in oil and retail.

The billionaire said the sanctions, which freeze some stocks and impose a travel ban, were unjustified and he would oppose them. But, he added that the sanctions, in any case, would not have the desired effect to help contain the Kremlin.

"My parents always said to me: you know, because you're Jewish, you can't be in this position or that position, at this university, or in this job. Now, I'm facing the same situation here in the West, because I'm Russian," he said.
