Russia can only afford its war in Ukraine because Britain helped raise the cash | Oliver Bullough

  1. If, as the article says, the oligarchs have been getting their money out of Russia by buying UK property and other investments, how is that financing the Russian regime?

    Surely by extracting their money from Russia, as Abramovich did when he bought Chelsea, that gets the money further from the grips of the Russian war machine.

  2. So it wasn’t 45% of Europe buying its gas from Russia, or China being their largest trade partner (nearly 40% of all exports)…

    …it was Britain that made Russia’s war possible. *Sure.*

  3. Between this kind of shite and their stance on the Falklands, this kind of crap is why people think the Guardian is a joke paper which is anti-UK.

  4. Look at the property market and you know why. The people controlling the money still enjoying the rental income from the hard working UK locals.

  5. Ah yes it’s all the evil brits fault. Germany buying all that Russian gas and dragging its feet initially with sanctions certainly didn’t provide Russia with any funds

    The guardian is such a shit tier rag at this point
