- As Russia invades Ukraine, the West has applied pressure on Vladimir Putin by imposing sanctions against Russian billionaires known as oligarchs.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
These are wealthy individuals who have used their money to purchase super yachts, mega mansions and private jets. And these extravagant toys of the super-rich are only possible because of Vladimir Putin.
But will taking away the oligarchs' money be enough to stop Putin’s war?

Truss. "I've compiled a list of oligarchs"
Classic example of someone trying to big themselves up. Not, "I asked for a list to be compiled"
That woman gives me the creeps.
Let's have a list of the Western 1% first, for which the West not only never talks about, but is even proud of.
nice! those seized yachts can buy a lot of A.T. weapons and all kinds of stuff for Ukraine
Right. Good idea 👍🏽
Weird how Putin can stand perfectly still yet wave his arms around wildly at the same time 3:14
I see what you did there but idk the man was a trained KGB spy. I am 50/50 with it
🤣🤣🤣
Never ask a woman about her age.
Dont ask a man about his salary.
Dont ask a okrainian what his grandfather did during the WW2‼️

These people can do nothing to Putin. If putin tell them to jump, they say how high.
If north Korean can survive why not big Russian . think Again.
Because people lack common sense.
For one simple reason: Because the Western criminals refuse to get it into their little head that they do not own the planet. So, as Putin himself said during his speech on the 24th of February: "The West refuse to accept Russia as a big, independent and prosperous country".
Very expensive for them personally, if they don't.
What right has the West to confiscate private property? Answer me that? Isn't the West, supposedly, all about capitalism? About the individual's right to private property? So what right has the West to confiscate private property, I am listening. Because none of their property within Russia has been impacted at all. As a matter of fact, for years Putin has been warning Russians to return their money inside Russia, precisely because outside Russia it is at risk.
@@nomayor1 The same reason as to why in WW2, enemy nationals are put into internment camps.
It's a war, so you give no help and you hinder the opposition.
So why isn't Russia all about peace? Ah yes
@@Nickle314 Let's start with the latter. Russia IS all about peace: During his visit to Moscow in 2010, Putin suggested to Clinton for Russia to join NATO. The US refused. During the entire decade of 2010, Putin was traveling from one European capital to the other promoting his idea for: "A Europe united from Lisbon to Vladivostok". The EU made perfectly clear that they had no intention for such co-operation. Russia IS all about peace. It is the West who cannot accept co-operation, and rather they only expect subordination.
Now, if Russia had confiscated private property within Russia itself, be it of Russians or foreigners, the West would have gotten a heart attack. They would be jumping up and down accusing Russia of "communist practices". Yet here they are, blatantly stealing private property and we have people like you trying to justify them.
@@nomayor1 Really? Pull the other one. Ukraine, Afghanistan, Chechnya, ....
Russia launched a special operation in Ukraine to eliminate nationalists and fascists who are supported by the Ukrainian government. They came to power in 2014 with U.S. support. In 2014, two regions of Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk, opposed this government. As a result, official Ukraine fought a war with Donetsk and Luhansk for eight years. Many civilians, women and children died. On May 2, 2014, people who opposed the new government were brutally murdered in the Trade Union House in Odessa. Russia tried to negotiate peace with Ukraine (meaning the United States), but without success. And if Russia had not started a special operation now, Ukraine, supported by the United States, NATO, and Europe, would have gone to war with Russia. The U.S. needs the war to weaken Russia. The U.S. is pursuing an aggressive policy against many countries in the world. Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia. If American citizens do not force the U.S. government to remove NATO bases and biolaboratories from Russia's borders, U.S. defeat is inevitable
Western journalists are afraid to tell the truth about what is happening in Ukraine. The editors of Western channels do not broadcast what is really happening. The editors of American channels force correspondents to lie about Donbass. Such a confession was made by journalist Patrick Lancaster. He came to Donetsk from the United States and stayed here. Now he is an independent correspondent and tells an English-speaking audience about everything he has seen with his own eyes.czcams.com/video/8F6rjuSYtPk/video.html
And Putin never murdered anybody of course 🤣All his opponents ended up jailed, tortured and murdered. Don't be naive lady to listen Russian propaganda. Your approach calls "Stockholm syndrome".
You are very selective in your portrayal of the history of this conflict. In 2014 it was russia that made an internal conflict an international conflict when it invaded ukraine in 2014. It broke several international trreaties doing so. The US and UK didn't intervene at the time although they were garantors of the territoral integrity of ukraine. This doesn't fit your narrative of american aggression. You are also not talking about russian involvement in keeping the conflict alive.
You can't give a reason why western journalist are afraid to say anything about this war. At the same time we know exactly why russian journalists are afraid to tell anything that is not the exact view of the russian government.
@@guidobolke5618 THE REAL ZELENSKY
czcams.com/video/-K4EkyYFE9I/video.html
In today's Ukraine, nationalist ideology is the main ideology of the state. Civilians are held hostage by local oligarchs and far-right nationalists under their control. President Zelensky is a puppet. Soviet symbols are banned; Nazi symbols are welcomed. The 2014 coup d'état took place with rallies and portraits of Bandera and Shukhevich, the perpetrators of the Volyn massacre and numerous other brutal acts of genocide against civilians. When the western regions of Ukraine were overrun by a pro-fascist nationalist government, the people of Donbass asked for the right for their region to use the Russian language and to have the authority to establish domestic laws locally.
The protesters, who were peaceful at the time, were not spoken to. In 2014, nationalist leader Turchinov gave the order to begin combat operations using the Ukrainian army to exterminate civilians declared by the separatists.
On May 2, 2014, nationalists drove people protesting against the new government into the Trade Union House in Odessa and burned them alive.
A full-scale offensive on Donbass using heavy military equipment was launched. Local residents tried to stop the tank columns with their hands, but they were crushed and their towns were shelled. One of the measures against the protests was an air strike on the city administration of Luhansk. Many civilians were killed. But the authorities in Kiev announced that an air conditioner had exploded in the building.
It's true! Here is a documentary video, which is obvious proof that everything said is true. czcams.com/video/-K4EkyYFE9I/video.html
@@guidobolke5618 Starting from your last point, by "russian journalists are afraid to tell anything...", you mean: "Oh, but why won't Russian journalists say things which would be pleasant to the West", that's what you mean.
Now, here is what the West knew perfectly well was going on in Ukraine, and why Putin finally had to take action:

@@svetta47 hello from Romania. im skeptical in general about political scene but i tend to believe a bit more what you say
@Светлана Воротынцева I honestly and truly feel sorry for all of the lies, deceit, and misleading propaganda that has been drilled into the Russian citizens over the past 20+ years. It is a terrible thing for a leader to do to his countrymen. I have read that Russians can use VPN's to bypass internet restrictions and then read news and reports from around the world. Americans don't hate Russian people....it is only the vicious criminal Putin that the civilized world wants to bring to justice. Good luck to you!
The sanctions will make Russia much more self sufficient. Do you honestly believe they need these US corporations to survive?
As soon as the Oligarchs' mistresses start leaving them for European millionaires, then, these Russians will start thinking seriously about Putin's future.
I hope Putin is removed from power
And you are?
Dream on

Greedy oligarchs, what can we expect from them? Doubtful that they can stop the evil old man.
He’s definitely evil
I'm watching this today eight days later ..now Russia's economy is back to where it was before the invasion of Ukraine!
Nope they can't..... they now just forced to support it make sure it wins
Hi I liked your video
Can billionaires stop Putin in Ukraine?
Putin - No, they can't))
Oligarchs Should keep money in Russia. Take everything from them
First take everything from the Western 1%, which you worship like your gods. In the West it is just fine to be rich. You are shown on TV, on magazines, and you become a "celebrity". If you are a Russian however, then you do not have the right to make it in your life. If you are rich in Russia, then according to the West you are an "oligarch". You haven't even realized what has happened to you, yet you speak about "russian oligarchs".
He’s the most scariest person in the world right now, with a big price on his head, hope Putin is put in his place before any big disaster from Russia,😱
BREAKING: Putin drops C-Bomb czcams.com/video/ETLZEoFn-lc/video.html
Recently I noticed when I saw some images in my mind, the similar images are very likely to show up in the news in the near future. I don’t know why but in case it can be helpful, I would like to share it. I truly hope nothing will happen and Im ready to be misunderstood 😃
I just saw an image of smoke in my mind. Its during daytime and looks tall from far away. Please be careful and prepare in advance if possible.
Another image I saw in my mind is a huge thick white snow, clouds, or wind on top of Ukraine. I think I might see a hole in the center of it but not very sure what it is. Please be careful and prepare in advance if possible as well.
Hope everyone is safe and sound 🙏
I think Putin might want Russian to see Ukrainian as enemies, I know nothing about the history, but I’ve been seeing so many kindness from both sides. Not sure if Im too naive but I hope Russian army will never get used to or accept any excuse to hurt Ukrainian people. We are all brothers and sisters and crave for the same peaceful and worry-free life.
Sadly i think too there's a chance it could happen if putin doesn't get what he wants soon, ukraine doesn'tbhave nuclear power and the west will never join the war no matter what, and putin really doesn't have anything to fear or lose at this point, besides russia has small tactical nukes that can be used against the ukraninan military, I doubt it'll be use on cities because the civilian death toll would be too high, even just using tactical nukes on military targets would bring enough fear to submit a whole population, but there's only hope this won't happen
You are a kind person. Thank you for your support!

So if I find a Maison in the United States owned by an oligarch can I just move in an file a silent title to own the property?
They can do a lot. If they set their corrupt minds to it.
How can the one man whose clearly done wrongly, still got his dirty hand shown.
"whose clear done wrongly"? Really? I guess you don't have a clue about this, have you?

Can someone please explain to me how tf these oligarchs buyed for example a factory for 200 milions and sell them for 900 mil?
They're all sketchy shady thieves. Plain and simple
@@tiffanyhendel8943 besides that, that we know.
Atleast in Russia, it is 500 people. In India, it just about 50 people who hold 40 percent of the country's economy, I guess.
In the entire West, it is 1% of the population. But you see, in the West it is just fine to be rich. You are shown on TV, on magazines, and you become a "celebrity". If you are a Russian however, then you do not have the right to make it in your life. If you are rich in Russia, then according to the West you are an "oligarch".
Oh yes they definitely can
They just won’t
Isn’t in their interest
Big jowels on all.of them from so much rich food and excessive drinking
Oligarchs are the problem. Over throw Putin and Lukashenko and the Billionaire Russian Oligarchs and their families
I have heard of the name Gazprom for years, they have often been a huge sponsor for European football.
It's nice that I can finally understand what it is that they do.
I hope are can able be are good love video. Thank you for sharing thank you so much that’s right all right ok no problems me too see you soon see you later good luck good job you are welcome.
Question? Will they loose all their wealth
Why should they? Isn't the West all about capitalism? About the individual's right to private property? Why should those people lose their wealth? But of course, I forgot: Only in the West it is ok to be rich. You are shown on TV, on magazines, and you become a "celebrity". If you are a Russian however, then you do not have the right to make it in your life. If you are rich in Russia, then according to the West you are an "oligarch".
That’s pure robbery!
Beside mass murder, it’s just compensation for crimes committed by Russian State.
Existential threat means bombing Russia.
Dropping food, water, and medicine to civilians; through jets, drones, or buses (with military escort) is NOT an existential threat to Russians. Their military is stealing the food because they're hungry; not because they're not allowed to let go of escaping civilians.. Just bring extra food (or money) up to the roofs of the buses.. (and military escort).. and do this at night, if possible and/or necessary..
Make it happen... Please apportion some of the $100M for the feeding and evacuation of the 150,000 Mariupol civilians. I believe in Ukrainians and that the brave Ukrainian Army can pull this off...
I'm sure the Mariupolans have earned it.. Prove you are one with the dying, the dehydrated, and the starving people of Mariupol... God-willing...
Here is whether "their military is stealing food", one humanitarian mission, after the other, after the other:

"Ill begotten gains"? Do speechwriters put this stuff in deliberately?
No Putin
Putin on the ritz.
It means it's easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven
Is this really Vladimir Putin? I recall him on a German TV show, speaking fluent German, but years later, on a similar show in Germany, he had to use the translation! So did he die, as his wife said? And was replaced by a clone or a look a like?
🕊
No no and No because it's not about money for putin
Can Russian billionaires stop multi-billionaire Putin?
Let's start from the later, who said that Putin is "multi-billionaire"? Oh, yes of course, the "There-are-WMDs-in-Iraq" establishment did.
Now, why should they stop him? Let me remind you somethings:
Putin took a country which had quite literally started disintegrating, and made it a superpower again.
Putin took a GDP of 200 billion, and turned it into a 1,48 Trillion one.
Putin took a country which was the world's laughing stock, and turned it into the country which kicked the entire western mafia out of Syria (and saved that country, as well).
During Clinton's visit to Moscow in 2010, Putin suggested for Russia to join nato. The US refused.
During the entire decade of 2010's, Putin was traveling from one European capital to the other, promoting his idea for: "A Europe united from Lisbon to Vladivostok". The EU was laughing at that.
Putin wants the best for his country, and co-operation with the West. What is bad in that?
Trying to fathom Putins actions, plans, or like is complex. Putin is a ultra command nationalist though. Right
It is not complex at all. It is just that the Western media establishment will not provide you with all of the information. Here is what Putin is fighting in Russia:

Ura..🎉🎉🤗❤🇮🇩❤🇷🇺
Propaganda from both sides is kranking up….
🇺🇦 🤲❤️
Biden (a Democrat) talking about ill-begotten gains is ludicrous. Back when Bloomberg left office (NYC Mayor), the public-employee pensions cost seven times the cost of their labor. One in 200 is the inequity between public employees and private employment when it comes to layoffs. Also, in a lifetime of work, a guy or gal might see seven depressions/recessions, but public employees are largely entitled with market-proof plans: in that, we must make them whole no matter the losses each time the market drops, and we don't even take the surplus when the portfolio allocation exceeds the overall economy. In the US, only 65-million Americans, those employed, self-employed, and employing employees in their small-business: are the free-economy: one-fifth of GNP, where as the rest are cronies, about 37-million working for 11,000+ global enterprises, and about 23-million working for government. These latter groups depend on the monopoly of violence of the federal government, for they would not be sustainable it came to individual choices in the free-economy.
May the Mother of God, Blessed Bishop Vasyl Velychkovsky, Bishop Theodore Romzha , Bishop Nicholas Charnetsky and all Ukrainian saints, together with Jewish Holy Men and Women and the Prophets, intercede with God for an end to Putin's atrocities. May Putin and his minions be tried for war crimes and may the skies and country side be protected from further bombing. May "Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done and NOT Putin's kingdom and diabolical will! So sorry to hear about Kharkiv's suffering. Where is the no-fly zone? Where are the MiG-29s? Why do we allow Putin a free ride to bomb Kharkiv to smithereens? When is enough enough? We need a European alliance of countries that support each other instead of one that stands by when a neighbouring country is in real need of help.
Seize all their money!
Why? Isn't the West supposed to be all about Capitalism? About the right of the private individual to private property? Or you mean if you are Russian then you do not have the right to be rich?
@@nomayor1 yeah it doesn't apply to war criminals and war mongers and nazis, those are excluded from those protections for VERY obvious reasons, which I'm sure even a Russian can understand
KGB old boys club the oligarchy. Ask Papa lebedev's bought liar in number 10 lol. Not that he'll be truthful for a microsecond.
Why would they? He made them and protects them.
What proportion of the oligarchs are Jewish?
I assume they're not over-represented.
