Fridman's gamut of businesses include mobile carrier Veon, whose CEO Kaan Terzioglu told CNBC Monday that the war should be "stopped as soon as possible."
Mordashov, meanwhile, called the fighting a "tragedy of two fraternal peoples" that should be stopped but added that he should not be a target of international sanctions. Meanwhile, Oleg Tinkov, the billionaire founder of Tinkoff Bank who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, described the conflict "unthinkable and unacceptable," calling for states to spend money on cancer research "not on war."
