One of Russia’s richest oligarchs who now lives in Dubai says Putin’s invasion of Ukraine made him a ‘pariah’

In an extensive interview with the Financial Times, Andrey Melnichenko decried the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on his personal life, while also saying there were war crimes from both sides in the conflict.

Melnichenko was sanctioned in March last year after attending a roundtable of Russian business figures hosted by Vladimir Putin in February.

The businessman, who made his money from coal and fertilizers, previously said that he only found out he had been sanctioned when he read about it in the news.
