[failed verification] The declaration formed a coalition between the Freedom of Russia Legion, National Republican Army, and the Russian Volunteer Corps, with the adoption of the White-blue-white flag by all parties, and the creation of a joint Political Center with the aim of representing their interests before the state authorities of different countries, and organizing a common information policy, headed by the Russian politician Ilya Ponomarev.
Speakers included Ilya Ponomarev, Editor-in-Chief of After Tomorrow Roman Popkov, author Oleksiy Tolkachev, leader of Speak Loudly and Andrey Sidelnikov.
[5] Journalist Maryna Danilyuk-Yarmolaeva noted that Ponomarev used to be a party member of A Just Russia (2007–2013), whose leader, Sergey Mironov, called on April 16, 2022, for the assassination of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and other Ukrainian decision makers, to quickly end the war in Ukraine.
Also, the leadership of the Russian Volunteer Corps stated that although they were present at the summit, they never signed any document and will not partake in any institution created by Ponomarev, or adopt the white-blue-white flag.
[5] Presidential advisor Oleksii Arestovych, who attended the event, fiercely defended the initiative, arguing that Ukraine should work together with the Russian opposition against Putin, harshly criticising Ukrainians who rejected any such cooperation.
