Ukraine, Tinkov attacks Putin and the war: “The army is m … like this whole country”

The Russian banker, former owner of the cycling team of the same name, lashes out against the conflict and the Russian leader: “Please give him a clear way out so he can save face and stop the massacre”

“90% of the Russians are against the war.” The well-known Russian banker Oleg Tinkov writes it today on Telegram, in one of the most explicit messages against the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian elite. “I see no benefit from this insane war! Innocent people and soldiers die. Generals wake up with a hangover and realize they have a shit army. How can the army do well, if anything else in the country is shit, in the quagmire of nepotism and servility? “, writes Tinkov in Russian.

Heritage destroyed

As for those who write the Z around, “the idiots in each country are 10%, 90% of Russians are against the war” says the banker, founder of Tinkoff Bank, the second largest credit card issuer in Russia, and a time top manager of the professional cycling team which also included Alberto Contador. Turning to English, Tinkov addresses the West: “Please give Putin a clear way out so that he can save face and stop the slaughter. Please be rational and humanitarian.”

Tinkov had become one of the richest men in Russia with his digital bank listed on the London Stock Exchange. But the war brought him down and the British government sanctioned him. His fortune dropped by five billion dollars and he lost his billionaire status.
