“A healthy person wouldn’t start a war like that,” the former richest person in Russia said on Tuesday. “He is dangerous.”
TATYANA MAKEYEVA/AFP via Getty Imagespeaking to a packed ballroom at the Milken Institute’s annual conference in Beverly Hills, Mikhail Khodorkovsky–formerly the richest person in Russia, before a falling out with Vladimir Putin saw him arrested, imprisoned and, eventually, exiled in London–issued a dire warning: “The world will not be a safe place as long as Putin remains in power.”
During a panel appearance on Tuesday morning alongside former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Representative Victoria Spartz and German politician Peter Beyer, Khodorkovsky warned the audience about Russia’s president, who launched an unprovoked war on Ukraine in February. “A healthy person wouldn’t start a war like that,” Khodorkovsky said. “But he’s not so not normal as to become not dangerous anymore. He is dangerous.”
