He told Hugo Rifkind that he will remain in Ukraine, despite being over the age to participate in the war effort.
He also explained why government by oligarchy did not work in Ukraine and said that Putin's rhetoric on Ukrainian Nazis to justify the war was misleading.
He said: "Putin is coming to defend Russian speakers and Russians from Ukrainian Nazis.
"I mean, there are no Ukrainian Nazis.
"There are nationalistic political parties which are not even represented in the parliament because nobody votes for them."
