Russian State TV Guest Admits War Was a 'Disastrous Mistake' Story by Brendan Cole • 11h ago Aguest on Russian state television has expressed an opinion not often heard on the airwaves in his country as he criticized Moscow's invasion of Ukraine as leading Russia to a "dead end." Ukrainian soldiers shelter in the woods along a road outside of the strategic city of Bakhmut on January 18, 2023 in Bakhmut, Ukraine. A guest on Russian TV show "Meeting Place" has described Russia's invasion as a "disastrous mistake."© Spencer Platt/Getty Images Wednesday's episode of current affairs show Mesto Vstrechi (Meeting Place) on the NTV channel discussed the latest situation in Ukraine, a clip of which was tweeted by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko. The studio screen title "winter of anxiety" outlined the theme of the show in which the guests discussed whether Kyiv is preparing for an offensive, whether military service should be mandatory for Russian officials and the fate of Duma deputies on the front line. Boris Nadezhdin, an opposition politician and Moscow municipal deputy who has opposed the invasion of Ukraine, then gave his take. "Certainly the personal courage and heroism shown by Russian MPs, soldier officers absolutely does not justify the fact that the special military operation was a disastrous mistake and that it is a senseless situation leading the country to a dead end," said Nadezhdin according to a transcript accompanying the clip. The on-screen graphic described Nadezhdin as president of the institute of regional projects and legislation. He said although there was "courage" on display, "at the front, the other story is the catastrophic mistake of the political leadership." In comments accompanying his tweet, Gerashchenko wrote that the "'special military operation' was a disastrous mistake and it is a senseless situation leading the country to a dead end.' Are they trying to tell the Russian population something?" msn.com
