Russian-Ukrainian crisis: According to an independent tracker estimation, more than 7,000 people throughout Russia have been detained in protests on the invasion of Ukraine
Dozens of anti-war demonstrators were detained in Moscow and St Petersburg on Wednesday as the voice of President Vladimir Putin’s special military operation in Ukraine grew harder and stronger. Creamy criticized by Alexei Navalny calls for daily anti-war protests in Russia. Calling Putin, “explained the crazy Tsar”, Navalny said Russia had to tell the world that or all Russians supported the war.
Russian police detained the anti-war protesters in St. Petersburg on the seventh day of Russian invasion to Ukraine.
“We can’t wait even a day anymore. Wherever you are. In Russia, Belarus or on the other side of this planet. Go to the main square of your city every working day at 7:00 p.m. and at 14.00 on weekends and on weekends, “He said in a statement published on Twitter by his spokesman.
When Russian forces expanded their attacks on Ukraine, the demonstrators returned to march in the singing cities ‘not at war’, holding a poster that denounced war. The Independent Monitoring Group OVD-INFO said more than 7,000 people in total in Russia had been detained in protests on the invasion of Ukraine.
Navalny, the most prominent Putin opponent, was jailed last year after returning from Germany after treatment for what Western laboratory tests shown was an effort to poison it with a nerve agent in Siberia. He said he was sentenced to trumped-up charges.
“I am from the Soviet Union. I was born there. And the main phrase from there – from my childhood – was ‘fighting for peace’. I called everyone to go out to the streets and fight for peace … Putin is not Russia, “Navalny said.
