Putin critic: 'Target Putin's wealth before he launches an invasion'

Synopsis

Bill Browder, a key figure behind the UK's existing sanctions legislation, advocates for the seizure of Russian oligarchs' assets as a means to prevent a potential invasion of Ukraine. In an interview with Sophy Ridge, Browder highlights that Russian President Vladimir Putin has amassed significant wealth over his two decades in power, which he has used to influence and intimidate. Browder argues that targeting Putin's wealth is the most effective strategy to deter aggression, as the West has historically been slow to respond to his actions. He emphasizes the need for decisive measures to address the ongoing threat posed by Russia.
