Russian officials face fines after calling for 'impeachment' of President Putin
Several elected officials in Russia have been summoned by police after they called for the impeachment of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a rare display of dissent in the country, local deputies from the Smolninskoye municipality in the St. Petersburg area appealed to the Russian Duma to impeach the President, for what they called crimes of high treason.
The author of the appeal, Dmitry Palyuga, posted it on Twitter, alleging Putin was responsible for "(1) the decimation of young able-bodied Russian men who would serve the workforce better than the military; (2) Russia's economic downturn and brain drain; (3) NATO's expansion eastward, including adding Finland and Sweden to "double" its border with Russia; (4) the opposite effect of the "special military operation" in Ukraine."
Palyuga and fellow Deputy Nikita Yuferev later posted on Twitter a summons issued to them by the St. Petersburg police for their "discrediting of the ruling establishment".
Palyuga later reported that two of the four deputies summoned have been released by the police and all are expected to face fines.
Kremlin has tried very hard to stifle any criticism of its invasion of Ukraine.
After launching a full scale invasion in late February, the Russian government moved swiftly to shut down the remnants of Russia's free press and introduced a new law that imposed severe criminal penalties for spreading "fake" information.
According to OVD-Info, an independent group that tracks detentions in Russia, 16,437 people have been arrested or detained for anti-war activism in Russia since the start of the invasion.

So the Pro RU folks are deciding that maybe it would be wise to get out while they can?
After murdering so many Ukrainians that may be a wise decision.

I think the situation for Vlad is gonna go from bad to worse in a month and by American election season he should be in deep trouble, in Ukraine and at home in Russia. A lot might depend on when the usual fall rains begin, they could have a bit a drought there too this year though, winter comer later and is less sever there now too. Back in February the ground was thawing and the Russians couldn't get off the roads. In the south the soil is more sandy and can drain, in the east there is a lot of black earth, the gumbo you are familiar with in Manitoba, so moves there early would make sense, before mud season.Russian officials face fines after calling for 'impeachment' of President Putin

It's the same in Crimea, there are lines of Russians or Quislings trying to get out, fearing the bridge to Russia might be cut at Kerch. They might fear their neighbors more than the government.

Ukraine have now almost complete fire control over the Valuyki - Luhansk railway connection with GMLRS. I'm not even sure the Russians are going to try to stay in this area, but if they do, they will not enjoy it very much.

That is in the south, where they want to trap 25 K Russian troops or get them to leave without their equipment. No matter how good the troops, they can't fight without ammo and can't move without fuel and that is on the wrong side of the river. The troops in the pocket have been cut in half and can't mutually support each other.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Ukraine should independently decide when and how to liberate territories occupied by Russia in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as well as Crimea.
