3. Blavatnik made his fortune investing in Russia alongside sanctioned Russian oligarch Victor Vekselberg. Blavatnik and Vekslberg bought a stake in the Russian oil company TNK, which they sold in 2017, netting Blavatnik $7 billion.

Blavatnik and Vekslberg also co-invested in Russian aluminum.

1. Steve Witkoff, Trump's top negotiator for a peace deal in Ukraine, has an active financial partnership with Len Blavatnik, a billionaire sanctioned by the Ukrainian government. Witkoff and Blavatnik are co-developing ultra-luxury condos in NYC, a Popular Information investigation reveals.

💥 Lindsey Graham took $800K+ from Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik leading up to Trump's 1st term. Many GOP leaders did, and they protected Russia's election interference for Trump.

And then there’s Len Blavatnik. Another funder of Tony Blair & another friend of Netanyahu.

Blavatnik is a prominent investor in Israeli defence tech & bought Israel’s Channel 13 following a personal request from Netanyahu who complained it was too left leaning.

Turns out Steve Witkoff has been doing business with Len Blavatnik while stupidly parroting Russian propaganda and leading Trump's capitulation to Putin.

www.counteroffensive.news/p/scoop-trum...
Blavatnik and Witkoff’s business entanglements are recent and ongoing. While Witkoff claims to be distancing himself from his business, there’s no evidence of this – and transparency watchdogs say that even the steps he’s purporting to take are not enough to prevent a conflict of interest. In 2021, Witkoff and Access Industries company, established by Len Blavatnik in 1986, acquired the One High Line project in New York. The deal consisted of two buildings, 236 condominiums and 120 hotel rooms. This year, they announced that One High Line surpassed $1 billion in sales, it the fastest residential project in downtown New York City to do so in ten years. Notably, this partnership has continued after Ukraine sanctioned Len Blavatnik for ten years in December 2023.

The £75 million Blavatnik School of Government building at Oxford has had to be closed because seagulls keep throwing rocks at it, which is an allegory of something but I’m not sure what

5. Blavatnik claims to have divested from Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, selling a valuable stake in an aluminum business he owned with Veksberg.

Nevertheless, British politicians have faced criticism for accepting donations from Blavatnik in light of the Ukrainian sanctions.

Moscow Mitch got rich 🇷🇺
Mitch McConnell benefitted greatly from Russian gangster Blavatnik, who contributed a total of $3.5 million to a PAC associated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. Blavatnik contributed $1.5 million to the GOP Senate Leadership Fund PAC in the name of Access Industries and another $1 million in the name of Al-Altep Holdings during the 2015/2016 election season. And as of September 2017, he had contributed another $1 million this year through Al-Altep.

Damnit. When you see meat puppet Witkoff at the Trump-Putin negotiating table, see the hand of Len Blavatnik - of Access Industries - who bought off the entire GOP in 2015-2016.

They weren’t marks, they were aligned. Witkoff is co-financed with Blavatnik. Kushner’s fund is 99% foreign-funded.

The “peace plan” was drafted at the oligarch’s hotel. Follow the money and the gullibility disappears.
