Tinkov urged not to be afraid of Putin

Oleg Tinkov assures that Putin is criticized by many oligarchs, in particular, because he was able to destroy Russia.

The Russian banker announced this on November 28 on his Instagram.

Russian businessman Oleg Tinkov believes that freedom and truth will win, and hell awaits the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

In addition, Oleg Tinkov noted that other oligarchs, with whom he is on friendly terms, think the same way about Putin.

Oleg Tinkov spoke against the so-called "SVO"

Oleg Tinkov is a successful Russian businessman and one of the wealthiest people in the Russian Federation. According to data for February 2022, his bank, "Tinkoff Bank", ranked 12th among Russian banks in terms of assets and equity.

According to the results in 2021, Oleg Tinkov ranked 32nd in the Russian Forbes list, and his fortune was estimated at 4.7 billion dollars.

After the beginning of the so-called "SVO" by Russia on the territory of Ukraine, Oleg Tinkov condemned the actions of the Russian leadership. The businessman sold his Russian assets to the Interros group.

After selling Russian assets, the businessman was left with the charity Foundation of the Tinkov family, which deals with bone marrow donation issues. It was founded in 2020, a year after the entrepreneur was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Thanks to the efforts of doctors and a bone marrow donor found in time, the disease entered the remission stage.

Ukraine imports the most weapons in the world

Such data is provided by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

In total, at least 35 countries sent weapons to Ukraine after the full-scale Russian invasion.

SIPRI analysts also emphasize the great importance of American arms supplies to European NATO member states, which they believe is a response to threats from Russia. According to the study, 64% of arms imports during the reporting period came from the United States.

Overall, arms imports by European NATO members have more than doubled (by 105%) compared to the previous five years.

US arms exports have increased by 43% overall, with the country supplying major weapons to 107 countries in 2020-24. It is followed by France as the second largest arms exporter (9.6%, 65 countries), Germany (5.6%), Italy 4.8%. China accounts for 5.9%, but many major importers do not buy Chinese weapons for political reasons.

SIPRI experts write that the two most important arms trade sectors for Russia have already weakened: India is increasingly preferring other suppliers, and China is receiving more weapons from its own rapidly developing arms industry.

In 2020-24, the Russian Federation supplied major types of weapons to 33 countries. Two-thirds of Russian arms exports went to India (38%), China (17%), and Kazakhstan (11%).
