Oh boo hoo. As if these people don’t want capitalists investing in their country - these financial elites. Good Lord. You sound like capitalism is the problem.

Legitimate business is never the problem.

Hijacking a nation to plunder it is not legitimate business.

Does the average Ukrainian have as good an opportunity in their own small business as the foreign investors and the Ukrainian oligarchs (which basically are mobsters) ?

No, because the law is used against them. It's impossible to "get anywhere" in business without being totally corrupt - which is how the Ukrainian oligarchs came to amass the wealth they have, through murder, corruption, etc.

"Capitalism" unfettered by ethics, morality and law is not legitimate business or trade, it's corruption, theft, fraud, etc.

The Western oligarchs who control the governments of West are no better than the Ukrainian oligarchs - they plunder the US taxpayer and the small business owner, using the law to do so.
