    I read today that many of the oligarchs, their families and even some Russian companies are actively searching for places to move, anticipating some major strife within the country.

      @Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

      From today’s issue Moscow Times:

      The Kremlin said Thursday it welcomed any attempt to end the Ukrainian conflict, on Moscow's terms, a day after the leaders of China and Ukraine had their first call since the offensive.

      "We are ready to welcome anything that can bring forward the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the achievement of Russia's goals," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

      In other words, the Kremlin is not interested.

      What a blatantly ridiculous statement.

      "Give us what we want and we'll stop killing people."

      Indeed, I believe the term for it is called extortion.

      Gangster diplomacy from a mafia regime.

          They keep posting stuff like this as if it is significant. The one guy was 78, the other had suffered a serious illness for some time. Innuendo.

                                          Sooner or later China will call its mortgage. May not be in Putin’s time, but China will someday come knocking. The Kremlin, or whatever new age Fascist state is left if of it in the wake of the current criminal regime, will run to the West for assistance.

                                          We should think twice about assisting.
