Putin's Rival Banned from Running in Elections!

The campaign of former television journalist Ekaterina Dontsova announced via her Telegram channel that she has been banned "from running against Russian President Vladimir Putin in the upcoming elections scheduled for March due to 'mistakes' in her application for registration as a candidate." This decision came just three days after Dontsova (40 years old) submitted her documents to the election committee to support her bid for candidacy. She intended to participate in the race with a platform that includes ending the war in Ukraine and releasing political prisoners.
