REUTERS\/Maxim Shemetov\/File Photo<\/div>\n<p>March 27, 2022<\/p>\n<p>By Guy Faulconbridge<\/p>\n<p>LONDON (Reuters) -Russian aluminium tycoon Oleg Deripaska said on Sunday that U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s speech in Warsaw indicated that some sort of \u201chellish ideological mobilisation\u201d was underway that may usher in a long conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Deripaska, the founder of Russian aluminium giant Rusal who has previously called for peace, said his personal opinion was that the conflict in Ukraine was \u201cmadness\u201d which would bring shame on generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>Deripaska, who has been sanctioned by the United States and Britain, did not assign explicit blame for the conflict but said both the United States and Russia had sharpened their rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Deripaska said he had hoped that the conflict could have ended weeks ago but that Biden\u2019s speech \u2013 in which the U.S. president spoke about a much broader conflict between democracy and autocracy \u2013 indicated it could last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow some sort of hellish ideological mobilisation is underway from all sides,\u201d Deripaska said on Telegram. \u201cThat\u2019s it: these people are preparing to fight for a few years more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears all sides are recklessly gearing for a long-term war that will have tragic consequences for the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The United States in 2018 imposed sanctions on Deripaska and other influential Russians because it said they were profiting from a Russian state engaged in \u201cmalign activities\u201d around the world. <\/p>\n<p>The sanctions, an attempt to punish Moscow for alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, were \u201cgroundless, ridiculous and absurd\u201d, Deripaska said at the time. <\/p>\n<p>Since the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, Deripaska has been sanctioned by Britain for his alleged ties to President Vladimir Putin. He has said it will be for the courts to decide the fate of the sanctions. <\/p>\n<p>Putin has said Russia\u2019s \u201cspecial military operation\u201d in Ukraine was necessary because the United States was using the country to threaten Russia and Moscow had to defend against the persecution of Russian speakers by Ukraine. Ukraine has dismissed the claims of persecution as a baseless pretext for invading.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Guy FaulconbridgeEditing by William Maclean and Frances Kerry)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska speaks to media in front of the office of Gorkovsky Automobile Plant (GAZ) in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia April 16, 2019.
