Bill Browder believes that there is no chance of ending the conflict in Ukraine without tightening the economic noose on Russia and stopping the flow of money from oil refineries. He had already emphasized in an interview with “The Moscow Times” that crude oil is Russia's main export and Putin's country generates hundreds of billions of dollars annually from the sale of this raw material. According to a financier who was once a famous investor in Russian markets, the main “culprits” here are three countries: India, China and Türkiye. He estimated that a total of eight refineries process Russian crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel and transfer between $500 million and $1 billion to Russia. daily. He is pushing for sanctions to be imposed on their owners.

Bill Browder: Putin has no ability to stop the war
“It's the most direct, obvious thing I've ever seen. How can Putin afford this war? Thanks to the sale of crude oil. Who buys crude oil? Three countries are the main buyers: China, India and Türkiye, says Browder, quoted by “The Guardian”. He adds that if these countries stopped buying Russian oil, the price Russia could get for it would drop to a very low level. – Then, in my opinion, Putin would be out of business within six months – emphasizes the Kremlin critic.

As “The Guardian” reminds, During his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Browder appealed to European leaders and US senators to impose even greater restrictions on Putin and ultimately bring about the fall of the murderous regime.. Otherwise, in his opinion, the war will not end.
— Putin has no way to stop the war because he started it to distract attention from his own incompetence. It's not because there is any real problem with Ukraine. The idea is that people in Russia will not be angry with him for the terrible life he has created for them, Browder tells The Guardian.
