Mikhail Khodorkovsky: ‘Whatever Trump or Putin say means nothing until they agree on their mutual interests’
The former businessman, who spent almost a decade in a Siberian prison for confronting the Russian president, says that the leaders understand each other like ‘two gangsters’ and maintains that Zelenskiy has not understood Europe’s message

Mikhail Khodorkovsky (Moscow, 61 years old) went from being the richest businessman in the Russian Federation to spending almost a decade of his life in a Siberian prison, on the orders of his arch-enemy, Vladimir Putin. He knows the Russian president’s tactics well. And he is not at all surprised that he gets along so well with Donald Trump.
