Point 10, for example, calls for the withdrawal of all foreign armed formations and military equipment from the two disputed regions, Donetsk and Luhansk: Ukraine says this refers to forces from Russia, but Moscow denies it has any forces there.
There was no Russian army there, there were volunteers!
As, for example, volunteers were a couple of days ago in Kramatorsk.
Symbols of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army:
But seriously, Russia wanted the conflict to remain a conflict between Russia and Ukraine with an opportunity to negotiate. Russia could not withdraw its people from Donbass, because in this case Donbass would have remained defenseless against the nationalists from the Ukrainian army.
For anyone who has been following the Russian 2024 presidential cycle might know that the only anti-war candidate was blocked from running a while ago, Yekaterina Duntsova. Well looks like another anti-war candidate has jumped into the race, Boris Nadezhdin. He still needs to get 100,000 signatures to get on the ballot, but looks like the anti-war movement in Russia is coalescing around and long queues are lining up to provide those signatures. Yes yes, I know Putin is going to win, but one can hope can’t they? It’s also poetic that his last name means hope. If he makes it to the ballot I’m curious what kind of result could he get?

Actually, his Shtabi Nadezhdina are growing every day.
Yesterday new Shtab was opened in Yakutsk, Ufa (Bashkortostan), etc..
I am sure he is more popular in Bashkiria (and elsewhere in Russia) after recent events.
His name became the second most popular name in Google search after putin.
As of today he already collected appx. 54 000 signatures - he needs 100 000 untill January 31st...
Moscow and St. Petersburg 's regions collected theirs - 10323 and 6024 signatures. Total signatures now collected - 61135.
One RF region cannot present more than 2500 signatures.
Anybody living abroad can sign provided he/she has "internal" passport RF.

Of course he will not win. Maybe will get 10-15%.
It is more of a political event - legal.
You do not say anything anti putin, anti war.
It is a movement against putin, against war, tyranny.
People understand that they are not alone.
There is Hope.
We can follow Nadezhdin's progress here (also a lot of Nadezhdin's shtab addresses in Germany, etc.):
So looks like Nadezhdin has a tough campaign ahead of him, he only has a month and a half to turn public opinion, and of course Putin is avoiding the debates as he does every election. His only real shot is if Putin falls just below 50% which then kick off the second round allowing Nadezhdin run 1v1 against Putin, but based on previous results that’s nearly impossible, especially since the elections are not fair.

Russians will not change Putin now. This is impossible even if Putin draws himself 99.9%. All reasonable Russian people understand this, especially since many of them, after mobilization, have friends, husbands, sons and brothers fighting in Ukraine. Everyone else can support Nadezhdin, but if they start to create problems, they will go to Navalny. With the full support of the overwhelming majority of Russians.
Russian elections have begun (March 15-17) voter turnout as of yet is already 50%
Per the most recent poll from CIPKR (March 6-10) Putin’s polling dropped down to 55%, it was 61% in the first week of March. 30% of pollers abstained from answering. Since Nadezhdin was denied from running, it seems like the anti-war movement is going to support Davankov from the New People party as his stance is to enter negotiations ASAP and put an end to the war. Putin will still win either way, but I still will find the results interesting nonetheless. I wonder if the results will reflect the polling or if they overstuff the ballots and get him to like 90% lol.
