Oleg Deripaska on Ukraine war
Oleg Deripaska, a prominent Russian billionaire, has publicly called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine, describing the ongoing conflict as 'mad' and criticizing Russia's military spending, estimated at $211 billion. His remarks, made during an interview with Nikkei Asia at an APEC meeting, represent the strongest anti-war stance from a major Russian figure since the war began in February 2022. Deripaska's comments were met with backlash from pro-war supporters, including philosopher Alexander Dugin, who accused him of betrayal. Previously under sanctions for ties to Putin, Deripaska has advocated for peace since the war's inception, labeling it a tragedy for both nations. He also reflected on Russia's trade with non-Western countries, suggesting that economic ties have softened the impact of sanctions. His evolving stance highlights a growing dissent among some Russian elites regarding the war's direction and consequences.
