Alexei Nechayev, head of the New People party, said Monday evening in a State Duma speech that Russians are tired of uncertainty and injustice, and called on the government to provide truthful information about recruitment, airstrikes, shelters, and casualty figures. 'Lies are an insult to them,' he said.
In a Monday evening plenary session of the State Duma, Alexei Nechayev, leader of the liberal New People party, called on the Russian government to end what he described as a culture of deception regarding the country's military situation. He specifically demanded transparency on conscription, airstrike operations, shelter availability, and casualty numbers. 'Adults can handle the truth. Lies are an insult to them,' Nechayev said. He also argued that to develop, the state must remove useless restrictions and allow people to plan and act. The speech reflects growing public pressure in Russia for clarity on the ongoing conflict and its costs, though Nechayev's party holds limited influence in the Duma.
