Russian ultranationalist demands Putin transfer war powers if unable to win in Ukraine.
A group of ultranationalists in Russia gathered and shared criticism of the country's invasion of Ukraine, stating that if President Vladimir Putin cannot secure victory, he must surrender power. The meeting was broadcast on Telegram, a platform where Russian nationalists can safely congregate and share criticism of the government. The criticism comes in the wake of Yevgeny Prigozhin's failed rebellion against military leaders, which has opened the floodgates of anti-Kremlin criticism. It remains to be seen whether Putin's regime can close these floodgates of criticism.
