Ukrainian Pres. Tells Russians to Protest Now; Otherwise They Risk Own Poverty, Repression

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed directly to Russians today (March 6, 2022) to take to the streets in protest against Russia's invasion of his country or risk their own poverty and repression, according to the Reuters website. 


Since last week, thousands of people in Russia have been detained for protesting against the invasion of Ukraine. 


Russians are now facing an uncertain and isolated future after international sanctions plunged the economy into crisis and authorities cracked down on independent media and restricted access to Facebook and other sites.
