Demonstrators held pickets and marched in city centers, chanting, “No to war!” as President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian nuclear deterrent to be put on high alert.
From Moscow to Siberia, Russian antiwar activists took to the streets again Sunday to protest their country’s invasion of Ukraine, despite the arrests of hundreds of protesters each day by police.
Protests against the invasion started Thursday in Russia and have continued daily, even as Russian police have moved swiftly to crack down on the rallies and detain protesters. The Kremlin has sought to downplay the protests, insisting that a much broader share of Russians support the assault on Ukraine.As Russian forces push deeper into Ukraine in the largest ground war in Europe since World War II, Ukrainian officials urge citizens to fight back.
More than 500 people were detained Sunday in Belarus, which has supported Russia and housed its troops, for protesting against the invasion, according to the country’s most prominent human rights group. Four days into the fighting that has killed scores, Putin raised the stakes dramatically on Sunday, ordering Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert, citing Western countries “taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic sphere” and saying that “top officials from leading [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] members made aggressive statements regarding our country.”
“It is a crime both against Ukraine and Russia. I think it is killing both Ukraine and Russia. I am outraged. I haven’t slept for three nights, and I think we must now declare very loudly that we don’t want to be killed and don’t want Ukraine to be killed,” said Olga Mikheeva, who protested in the Siberian city of Irkutsk.
