MOSCOW — More than 1,100 people in cities across Russia have been detained at protests today against Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine, a protest monitor says, more than one week after the assault began.
The OVD-Info group said that by around 2:20 p.m. Moscow time, 1,103 people had been detained across 35 cities, bringing the total number of demonstrators detained to 9,472 since February 24, when President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine to carry out a “special operation.”
