Protests in more than 100 Russian cities

The horror of the war against Ukraine is driving many people to the streets in Russia. However, the Russian security forces are extremely brutal against demonstrators.
The Russian authorities warn against taking part in the unauthorized rallies. Demonstrations are not allowed under the pretext of security against infection in the corona pandemic.
