Renat Suleymanov, a member of the Russian State Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation faction, has stated that the Russia-Ukraine war must end "more swiftly" as Russia's economy "cannot sustain the prolonged continuation of the special military operation" [as the Russians refer to their unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine - ed.].

A State Duma deputy from the Novosibirsk region representing Russia’s Communist Party (KPRF) said Russia must bring the war in Ukraine to “the swiftest possible end” because the country’s economy “won’t survive a prolonged special military operation.” The deputy, Renat Suleymanov, made the remarks in an interview with the Novosibirsk-based news outlet Kontinent Sibiri.
