Sanctioned Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman says he is 'practically under house arrest' and has to eat at home as his credit cards have been blocked

he has to apply to the UK government to spend any money in the country and that he could be receiving about 2,500 British pounds a month if the application is approved.

But in the El Pais interview, he said he's not sure an allowance will be enough"to live a normal life without excesses." "I can't even take anyone out to a restaurant. I have to eat at home and I am practically under house arrest," he told the Spanish media outlet. He boughtFridman told El Pais he doesn't know if he will be able to keep the mansion."It's unclear whether I'll be able to keep living in London or whether I'll be forced to go, which I cannot do right now and don't want to for many reasons," he said.

He told the Spanish newspaper it's"idiotic" to believe oligarchs can compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine war — which, the news outlet noted, he avoided calling a war. Instead, Fridman described the war in terms like a"disaster" or"what is happening." "Things won't go any better for the West if it forces many brilliant and interesting entrepreneurs to go to Russia, instead of integrating them more and trying to get them to take a stand, even if it is obvious that private business has zero influence over Putin," he said, per El Pais.

My heart weeps for you...

Awww, poor spoiled fat oligarch. Complaining he cannot live a ' normal life' &has to eat at home. You weren't rich growing up until you& Putin exploited Russia's natural resources that belong to Russia for personal profit.Karma is a beach, you deserve these acts of your gluttony.

If he thinks thats bad he should try living in Mariupol.

If I remember correctly UK has a public transport system... taxi allowance, really?
