According to the billionaire, many are wishful thinking, saying that Russia should leave completely. But this is unrealistic, he added.:

“I am very outraged by such important diplomats who arrange seven-course dinners in luxurious places while people are dying on the front line, and rant that Russia must leave. But she’s not going to leave. Russia is not going to leave.”

In an interview with The Economist, the businessman expressed hope that a peace agreement could be reached in the near future.
