The former governor of the DPR called Putin a fluke and a figurehead
Pavel Gubarev, the former so-called “people’s governor of the DPR,” spoke out sharply against dictator Vladimir Putin in an interview.
This is reported by Russian propaganda media.
He stated that he considers Putin indecisive and incapable of making key decisions on his own. Gubarev also called him a “lucky man” in the presidency and a “puppet.”
In his opinion, if Russia had sent troops in 2014, it could have changed the course of events, but the current war is a consequence of the decisions made by the Russian leadership at that time.
Former “DPR” leader Pavel Gubarev has been accused of discrediting the Russian army.
Russian blogger Yegor Guzenko, who runs the Z-channel “Thirteenth” with 310,000 subscribers, was arrested for two months. He actively supported the war against Ukraine, while harshly criticizing the Russian government for betraying “Russian interests” as he understood them.
