Russians in cities spanning from Moscow to Siberia take to the streets again today to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Demonstrators march in city centers, chanting “No to war.”
Protests against the invasion started on Thursday and have continued for four days in a row, despite police swiftly moving to detain hundreds of people each day.
In St. Petersburg, where dozens gather in the city center, police in riot gear grab protesters and dragged some to police vans, even though the demonstration was peaceful.
According to the OVD-Info rights group that tracks political arrests, by this afternoon police have detained at least 356 Russians in 32 cities over anti-war demonstrations.
