  • Exiled Russian #dissident #IlyaPonomarev gave an interview to FRANCE 24 from Kyiv. The former Russian lawmaker was the only member of the Douma to vote against the annexation of Crimea back in 2014 and now lives in #Ukraine. He predicted that "#Putin will be gone soon", arguing that the Russian president has "definitely lost the war" in Ukraine and that "no dictator who has lost a war can stay in power". Asked about the suspected war crimes in #Bucha that have shocked the world, Ponomarev claimed that the killings were most likely the results of "panic" by retreating Russian forces, rather than being carefully planned.

    Let's give a shout out to all incredible brave Russians that understand what is going on and risk their life by stating their opinion. Think of Navalny: he survived an assassination attempt and still went back to Russia. He knew he would at least be locked in and I can't think of any other reason for doing that than: if you want to change a country, you have to be in the country. Even if it's in a prison. I do however salute the ones living in exile, too.
