- Putin critics lead a march in Berlin calling for democracy in Russia and an end to war in Ukraine (newsbreak.com)
In Berlin on Sunday, over 1,000 people marched against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his invasion of Ukraine.
The protest, led by prominent opposition figures like Yulia Navalnaya, Ilya Yashin, and Vladimir Kara-Murza, demanded an end to the war, Putin’s trial as a war criminal, and the release of political prisoners in Russia.
Marchers chanted slogans and carried signs denouncing Putin and his actions. The demonstration aimed to show that a peaceful and democratic Russia still exists.
However, the opposition movement has been plagued by internal divisions, with different groups accusing each other of discrediting and competing for influence. This has frustrated many Russians who oppose Putin’s regime.
