Russian governor faces backlash for saying Russia unprepared for Ukraine war

A Russian governor said Russia was unprepared for the Ukraine war and her region had "no need" for it.

Critics accused her of discrediting Russia's military and called for an investigation.

She has not been detained or charged so far.

Her comments spread online, prompting activists to denounce her to authorities.

Russian law bans disparaging the military or spreading "false information" about the Ukraine operation.
