We should always depart no stone unturned in isolating these oligarchs from their investments, together with the seizure of properties and yachts.
There’s a race to squeeze Putin given the struggle crimes he’s now committing in Ukraine, and London continues to be seen as floor zero as to the place oligarchs’ investments sit. So we have to be impounding these belongings in days, not weeks or months.
There’s going to be rising public anger that we’re not doing sufficient to assist our fellow Ukrainians of their hour of want.
I might agree with Tom [Tugendhat]; I merely would add what we do have to be legally watertight, what we are able to’t see is any loopholes.
Every single day we wait provides extra time for the oligarchs to maneuver their wealth to different components of the world. Don’t neglect it’s not their wealth, that is the stolen wealth from the Russian folks which is utilised to maintain Putin in energy.
