Russian parliament openly calls to end the failed war in Ukraine
| For the first time since the invasion of Ukraine, a sitting regional lawmaker has publicly declared that the war is lost and must be ended. At a session of the Samara regional assembly, 69-year-old Grigory Yeremeyev openly urged colleagues to acknowledge what he called the failure of the war and to share responsibility with Vladimir Pitler.
| Yeremeyev stated that the goals of the invasion are fundamentally unattainable and argued that Pitler continues the war not for victory, but to avoid entering history as a defeated president. Shortly afterward, Yeremeyev was charged with abusing press freedom.
| Even mild doubt about victory has long been treated as treason, the fact that such words were spoken aloud in a regional parliament is significant. It reflects not courage alone, but accumulated frustration that fear can no longer fully suppress.
| Internal criticism of the war is steadily growing, even as repression remains severe. Dissidents, activists, and ordinary citizens who openly oppose the invasion continue to receive harsh prison sentences, with more than 600 prosecuted in 2025.
| Economic strain and the visible disconnect between official statements and daily experience are feeding quiet discontent. While most Russians still avoid public protest, the erosion of legitimacy is evident in conversations, commentary, and now even legislative chambers.
| To cope, many commentators retreat into self-soothing explanations, insisting that Russia could win instantly if there were an order to do so, or that secret backroom deals are singlehandedly causing the failing war effort.

| One of the few people epstein named as a possible enemy was pitler, changed how I view him
| Whaaaa? I saw where he said the ruble was the currency of the future, not the Chinese one. I saw he met with an anti Pitler guy though. Epstein would have been a great man if not for the damned abusing women.
