 Russian governor denounced for saying, we didn't need Ukraine war. A Russian pro-war activist has accused the governor of a region 3,000 kilometers from Moscow of discrediting the military's actions in Ukraine during a Q and A session. Kanti Mansiysk, Autonomous District Governor Natalia Komarova said, we didn't need Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine when asked about ill-equipped troops during a meeting with constituents. Local activist Yuri Ryabtsev filed a petition asking Russia's Interior Ministry to launch a criminal probe into Komarova, according to the Sibir.relief. Fifth column enemies of the military operation are awaiting their punishment. Ryabtsev said in a social media post, the outlet said, the Kremlin has sought total loyalty as it pursues what it calls a special military operation in Ukraine, which is entering its 20th month. The Kanti Mansiysk Regional Administration said that Komarova's words were taken out of context and that she supports the Russian troops. Russia did not prepare for a war with the West and was not interested in the conflict with Ukraine. The administration said in a statement carried by local radio. This is exactly what the President, Vladimir Putin, has repeatedly said. An economic and sanctions war has been declared against us while the Kiev regime is also carrying out a physical extermination. The Interior Ministry has not indicated whether it planned to investigate Komarova's statement.
