Whoever formulated this is a PR genius.

The West will read it as "the [Russian aggression] war in Ukraine".

Putin can be made believe it meant "the [Ukrainian nazi government] war in [the Donbas region of] Ukraine".

They don't call it a war in Russia, it's a "special military operation". Calling it a war is perhaps a small step away from Putin for Abramovich, or a mistake.

Ok, you make a good point.

If I were Abramovich, I'd make sure my local hospitals had a supply of antidotes for the common toxins Russians have been known to use, and maybe ones that haven't been just yet.

Which shows that even the rich and powerful are a bunch of fucking cowards
