Oleg Tinkov, one of the first Russian billionaires to speak out against the country’s invasion of Ukraine, has renounced his citizenship.
“I have taken the decision to exit my Russian citizenship,” Tinkov said Monday on his Instagram account. He said he didn’t want to be associated with a country “that started a war with their peaceful neighbour and killing innocent people daily. It is a shame for me to continue to hold this passport.”
