Protester interrupted Russia’s main news program with an anti-war message

Protester interrupted Russia’s main news program with an anti-war message

The sign, in English and Russian, read: “NO TO THE WAR. Stop the war. Do not believe the propaganda. Here they lie to you.” Another phrase, which sounded like “Russians against the war”, was partially obscured.

The extraordinary act of dissent took place on day 19 of the war that began when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what it calls a special military operation.

“Stop the war. No war,” the protester was heard shouting, as the news anchor continued reading from her teleprompter.

The protester could be seen and heard for several seconds before the channel aired a report to remove her from the screen.

“Wow, that girl is great,” wrote on Twitter Kira Yarmysh, spokesman for jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Yarmysh posted a video of the incident, which quickly racked up more than 2.6 million views.
