The Mundeps of the St. Petersburg district of Smolninskoye reported that they planned to send an appeal to the State Duma with a proposal to accuse Putin of treason because of the war in Ukraine. According to the authors of the appeal, Putin's actions fall under Article 93 of the Constitution. According to it, the president can be removed from office on charges of treason or other serious crimes brought forward by the State Duma.
