"I don't see a single beneficiary of this crazy war! Innocent people and soldiers are dying," Tinkov, who founded Tinkoff Bank, Russia's second-biggest credit card issuer, wrote in an Instagram post
Wealthy Russian businessman Oleg Tinkov on Tuesday condemned what he called Moscow's "crazy war" in Ukraine, saying 90% of his countrymen did not support it and calling on the West to offer Vladimir Putin a dignified way to withdraw.
---Snip---
"The (Russian) generals, waking up with a hangover, realized that they had a shit army," Tinkov wrote. "And how could the army be good if everything else in the country is shit and mired in nepotism, sycophancy and servility?"
Switching to English, Tinkov wrote: "Dear 'collective West' please give Mr. Putin a clear exit to save his face and stop this massacre. Please be more rational and humanitarian."
Tinkov owns around 35% of Cyprus-based TCS Group Holding whose stable of companies under the Tinkoff brand span sectors from banking and insurance to mobile services. The company's share price has plummeted this year.

The voice of one who knows presenting truth
I have been preaching this thought for a long time but alway out come the Russiaphiles declaring the greatness of Russia and Putin
The Russian population is less than the Indonesian island of Java. The Russian GDP is less than Canada and barely above Australia
Bottom line: “Dear ‘collective West’ please give Mr. Putin a clear exit to save his face and stop this massacre. Please be more rational and humanitarian.”
Biden could do this. Why doesn’t he?
But, the GDP is higher than it was a hundred years ago, so there has been progress!
Biden is in cognitive decline. His calculation (if he does any calculation) is, does this help me keep power or not?
If you have a strategy for a graceful pullout by Russia, please share it.
Because his handlers use the crises to their advantage.
Their Army sucks but their missiles and bombs seem to work.
I vote for a quick and peaceful death for Vlad Putin. He won’t need face saving when he’s dead.
Java has 152 million people. You say it like it’s tiny because it’s an island.
Purposely disingenuous comment.
Russia sucks and Putin is a tyrant. The Ukraine sucks as well.
That said, this war should end. There’s no endgame in its perpetuation.
You have no vote, and who’s his successor?
Is he better or worse?
If Putin is killed by a non Russian, what retaliation occurs?
Russia has a lot of talented scientists, engineers, programmers etc., yet their economy has languished the whole time Putin has been in charge. They have no globally important tech companies afaik, despite all that talent. It remains one of the most corrupt countries.
Withdraw from Donbas and Crimea, then resign gracefully.
The US Army won’t be much better once the puppet master Obama is done filling it with woke transsexuals and kicking out those soldiers who refuse the HIV jab. Only difference is that we don’t have a draft, yet.
Because he’s POTUS and he doesn’t want to.
I don’t care about these details. I just want Putin the longtime (and getting worse) murderer gone. Why does the world tolerate these people being in power and causing havoc year after year?
He has nukes. Which is why Iran never should.
“Why does the world tolerate these people being in power and causing havoc year after year?”
So you want the “world” assassinating nation’s Presidents?
Countries with 6000 nukes?
What could go wrong?
You should try thinking deeper and more long term.
Obama, and NATO, bombed Libya for largely no reason.
Should Obama and all the other NATO countries’ leaders have been assassinated?
Zero chance ever, and you know it.
Here is her “genius” response to me for posing the same question:
“I don’t care about these details. I just want Putin the longtime (and getting worse) murderer gone. Why does the world tolerate these people being in power and causing havoc year after year?”
So, continue the problem and the whining while it exists. That is a basically chicken shit existence
Dead Putin will create chaos. Enjoy the chaos
