..."The war, which has not brought the swift and easy victory Putin anticipated, has also taken a toll on the Russian people and the economy because of severe sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other nations. Reportedly, growing numbers of people in Russia's elite have turned against the president and his war, and even governmental figures have begun criticizing him for refusing to pull out of Ukraine.
On Friday, Leonid Vasyukevich, a member of Russia's Communist Party who serves on a regional legislative assembly in the country's Far East, was escorted out of a high-level meeting with Putin after he called for withdrawal of Russian troops.
"We understand that if our country does not stop the military operation, there will be even more orphans in our country," Vasyukevich said. "During the military operation, young people who could bring great benefit to our country die and become disabled."
In response, some Russian officials declared Vasyukevich "a traitor.""
