President Trump threatened to impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if the "ridiculous" war in Ukraine isn't halted soon, saying it is can be ended "the easy way, or the hard way."
The sanctions hurt. Oligarchs don’t have much in Russia to spend their fortunes on. They take it to European cities and places like Cyprus. Sanctions in those places hurt them (when actually applied-- the UK under Boris Johnson pretended to impose sanctions but they were so full of loopholes that they were worthless-- gotta keep that oligarch money inflating London real estate).
