.@EmmanuelMacron is seeking in Moscow and Kyiv solutions to the European security crisis triggered by Putin. I suggest Mr.Macron to try to find a solution also in France. I will help - this thread will be about french assets of Russian oligarchs. How about freezing them? 👇
1. Roman Abramovich. Château de la Croë - former residence of kings. Address: 183-623 Chemin des Douaniers, 06160 Antibes. The oligarch apparently doesn't like paying taxes even in France dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6… 
A year ago Roman Abramovich was included by @navalny into the sanctions list - Russian opposition leader requested the West to sanction Putin's money holders. Abramovich was in the top of the list.
2. Valentin Yumashev. Putin's adviser and close friend of oligarchs Deripaska and Ushmalov. 2.5 sq metres villa at the Saint Barthélemy Caribbean island (overseas territory of France). istories.media/investigations…
3. Dmitry Peskov. Putin's press-secretary. Often talks about NATO posing security threats to Russia. Meantime his daughter Elisaveta feels completely safe residing in France. Jointly with her mother she has apartment not far from Eiffel tower in Paris navalny.com/p/5673/?fbclid…
In addition...oh that is horrible! Lisa Peskova was interning for French member of the European Parliament. Oh my God. How could the father allow his kid to go right into the middle of the evil NATO???bbc.com/news/world-eur…
4. Ok, but what about Putin's family staying away from NATO? Horrible! His daughter Kateryna Tikohonova has a modest castle in..Biarritz, France. Just nearby the villa of Lyudmilla Putina (or Skrebneva or Ocheretnaya), whom Putin divorced back in 2013 meduza.io/en/feature/201…
5. Boris Rotenberg. Jointly with brother Arkady they are oligarchs from Putin inner circle. Brothers often receive multimillion dollar state contracts. They love France! At least 2 villas in french riviera + 3rd one uncompleted occrp.org/en/investigati…
Arkady Rotenberg is under the US sanctions since 2014, but the biggest trouble he has with his french assets seems to be caused by a divorce. His former wife Natalia is not willing to leave Shoshona villa at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in South France theins.ru/news/243741
6. Oleg Deripaska. Oligarch from Putin inner circle. After the US sanctions Deripaska reregistered his french assets to his mother and cousin. Renovation of one of his french real estate - villa herakles at St-Tropez - costed to Deripaska 15,9 mln Euro rbc.ru/business/01/06…
7. Oleksandr Ponomarenko. "Investor" to the Putin's secret palace at Gelendzhik. Here is a piece of heaven worth 91 mln Euro he controls at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in France. @istories_media expose even more Rus villas at this french riviera pearl istories.media/investigations…
8. Gennadiy Timchenko. Energy oligarch from Putin inner circle. On the eve before being sanctioned by the US he "sold" his Cyprus-Swiss Gunvor oil trader company. Villa at Saint Raphael commune - just 50 km from Nice navalny.com/p/3717/?fbclid…
The list can keep going, but definitely France has huge leverage over Putin. If @EmmanuelMacron doesn't want war, there has to be done some homework with ill-gotten assets of Kremlin elite in France.
When Putin arrogantly bullies journalists with question whether France wants war with Russia, I suggest to ask Putin whether his close friends want to loose all their assets in France..and other NATO members.
Finally, banning all these Putin crooks as well as their family members from entering France and other EU member states would be also a powerful step to prevent war. But does @EmmanuelMacron has enough courage to lead such initiative?
