The owner and editor-in-chief of a Russian newspaper has openly questioned the war in Ukraine, following an editorial in which he wrote that Ukrainians no longer see a future with Russia.

Konstantin Remchukov, head of the Nezavisimaya Gazeta, made these remarks in a column published this week in the newspaper.

First translated by BBC journalist Steve Rosenberg, Remchukov wrote that "Russia recognises that a significant number of Ukrainians choose the current government in the country."

However, this view contradicts the Kremlin’s invasion narrative, which claimed Ukraine was being ruled by Na*is.

Konstantin Remchukov wrote: "Today, Russia recognizes that a significant number of Ukrainians choose the current government in the country, consider themselves Ukrainians, and do not want to see any future together with Russia."

"In this way, the Russian leadership recognises the state of Ukraine. When the narrative is spread in the West that Moscow wants to destroy Ukraine as a state, this is an obvious discrepancy with today's realities," he added.

In his column, the editor-in-chief also said that he has no intention of stepping down from his position.
