Russian opposition-in-exile holds Berlin protest march
Alexei Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, and recently-released prisoners Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin are leading the demo in the German capital. Protesters plan to finish outside the Russian Embassy.
Summary
Hundreds gathered in Berlin to protest the war in Ukraine and call for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s removal.
Leading the march were Alexei Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, and recently released opposition figures Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin, freed in an August prisoner exchange.
Protesters carried banners reading “No Putin. No War” and marched from Potsdamer Platz to the Russian Embassy.
Navalnaya, now a prominent figure in Russia’s opposition, joined Kara-Murza and Yashin in uniting Russians abroad against Putin’s regime and advocating for Ukraine’s victory and freedom for Russia.
Good to see they exist. All we ever get to see in our German media are those lunatic Putin fanboys and fangirls.
