153 local regional parliament members in #Russia publish an open letter contesting the invasion on #Ukraine adding that:

The decision to attack was made personally by Russian President Vladimir Putin. We are convinced that the citizens of Russia did not give him such a mandate

@rf @ua

Решение о нападении принял лично президент РФ Владимир Путин. Мы убеждены, что граждане России не давали ему такого мандата.

Local authorities are probably the highest layer in Russia where representatives are actually elected by people.
