More than 3,000 Russians have been detained for holding anti-war protests since President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine three days ago, an independent monitor says.
“In the last 3 days, at least 3,052 people were arrested,” the independent OVD-info monitor, which keeps track of arrests during protests, writes on Twitter.
It said 467 people were arrested in 34 cities today alone.
