1/4. The effects of Putin being charged over #WarCrimes by the International Criminal Court #ICC

There is one detail people are passing over in this report, and that is the charges laid against Maria Lvova-Belova for similar charges involving the cnn.com/2023/03/17/eur…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/4. To understand the impacts of these charges, my view is that #Putin will at best be irritated by this event as a demonstration of the West’s hypocrisy and desire for regime change. The adverse affect for the civilised world, is that this event will likely lead to a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/4. Maria Lvova-Belova’s charges will have the biggest impact.

That is because all of these charges are symbolic in reality. The fact that charges and accountability has been extended to a relatively low level politician and bureaucrat is critically important.

This is because… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
4/4. The UN and the UNSC are for good or for worse, toothless and the institutions have been designed to fail in some respects.

Remember before jumping for joy about this event, is that one of the biggest resistors of the ICC on it’s formation was the USA, and without a united… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Just to clarify - the USA opposed the formation of the ICC - the reason relied upon is:

“Incompatibility with the U.S. Constitution
United States participation in the ICC treaty regime would also be unconstitutional because it would allow the trial of U.S. citizens for crimes… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

In 2008 he was the richest #Oligarch in Russia and the 9th richest in the world. He lost nearly all his assets due to crashing markets and debt, but bounced… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3/4. These #Oligarchs made billions from the breakup of the old #SovietUnion, when nationalised industries were privatised and a select few individuals were given large shares in the new companies. Putin is strongly tied to all Oligarchs and has been inews.co.uk/news/long-read…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@drosha69 @JeffSonnenfeld - FYI: KFC and Pizza Hut owner and Heineken claims to pause business in Russia ONE YEAR AGO , yet the brand is still alive and well in MAR 2023 theguardian.com/world/2022/mar…
See this video filmed in February 2023, showing brands that are sneaking back into the russian market including #Samsonite #Levis and #Reebok .

A mixture of outright business as usual and others duping consumers russian names, selling original products.


Same old products, under fake russian branding.

These companies need calling out and being held to acount by consumers, shareholders and the media.

1/8 Russian Oligarch Files: Roman #Abramovich

A morally #corrupt high-profile Russian billionaires because of the success of football club Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich was sanctioned later than some others, because he is less obviously influential than other #Putin allies.
2/8 His influence in the Kremlin is limited, he is more #Putin ‘s bitch than his friend, but is tolerated by Mr Putin (as long as he pays). Abramovich has made corrupted money out of the relationship, through #putin awarding him contracts for the #FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia.
3/8 #Abramovich denies having close ties to Mr Putin or the Kremlin, but the UK portion of his estimated $12.4bn fortune is now frozen. At the start of the war he was forced to put Chelsea up for sale for £3bn. and his £150m house in London's Kensington Palace Gardens in London.

The miserable life of #Putin

#VladimirPutin and mistress gymnast #AlinaKabaeva, the likely mother of his spawn, live in opulence together in a residence in Valdai. Corrupt gains is what funds Putin, who has vast properties, and he indulges his cohabitant vatnic lover #Kabaeva
#Putin's main source of funding is the Cypriot company #ErmiraConsultants, which holds stakes in enterprises important to Putin.

In particular, Ermira controls the eal Invest company registered to a figurehead - a lawyer from St. Petersburg #VladislavKopylov.
Purchases for #PutinWarCriminal and his relatives were paid from Ermira's accounts. He also bought apartments and houses with this money. Since 2015, offshore ownership has probably passed to the people of the oligarch #ArkadyRotenberg
