Another oligarch called for peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv to commence 'as fast as possible.'
"It is going to be catastrophic in all senses: for the economy, for relations with the rest of the world, for the political situation," one Moscow-based billionaire, who requested anonymity, told Reuters for an article that was published on Sunday.
"Peace is very important," Deripaska said in a Telegram post, according to Reuters. He called for peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv to commence"as fast as possible." Whether the Russian billionaires concern about the invasion of Ukraine impact Putin's decision-making remains to be seen. The Russian president has previously shown a willingness and ability to stand against and take down oligarchs who oppose him and his policies. However, the opposition is notable as Western nations implement punitive financial sanctions that will have a negative impact on the Russian economy.
"I do not really believe in the outcome of this meeting, but let them try so that later not a single citizen of Ukraine has any doubt that I, as president, tried to stop the war, when there was even a small, but still a chance," Zelenskyy said. A specific time for the discussions has not been announced.
