Putin has violated the Russian constitution by "eliminating free elections" and "murdering his opponents." He has to be stopped. A Russian businessman just announced a 1M Bounty on his head ❗️😱😳😲
They should just do what Canada did to protesters
Such protests are not safe at such a point of time. These are not anti war protesters, there are anti Putin protesters.
We will continue. Russia will be free.
Calling russian police to arrest Putin instead of the peace loving russian citizens. You have all the legal and moral obligation and right to arrest Putin because he is murdering innocent civilians. Go and be the hero of your own country and the world.
overwhelm the police thousands at a time not sporadically !—take their guns!
We care about Ukrainians and Russians. If all news was truthful and not state controlled, everyone would be better informed. We know it is dangerous for Russians to protest if they have strong feelings against this invasion of Ukraine. But Masses of the Russian public voicing disapproval of the attack, would be the only voice in the world strong enough to compel Putin to halt the attack. Russian people of influence and the military leaders should also voice disapproval against their leader's approach of speaking nuclear words before negotiation words. Revelations bible verses … speak of the pale horseman regarding beginning the end times mass atrocities.

When the Oligarchs and other business leaders realize that their violent leader is killing many thousands of Ukrainians and Russians while also killing the economy of both of their countries, they will get more vocal in their disapproval of the war. The Russian public will increase their bank runs as this reckless war maneuver causes fear and chaos for the world. Russian citizens will be compelled to protest against the invasion of their own friends/neighbors, assembling in Massive crowd numbers sufficient to insulate them from detainment and arrest.
Putin crazy!It will be heartbreaking for the parents of young soldiers who cannot return to their homes.
Masked cops. No badge numbers, no name tags. No ID of any kind. And thus, no accountability. They can shoot you in the face and get away with it.
When Robert Peel formed the British Police 'Bobbies' named after him, he knew, that they needed ID, and accountability. Ages ago. Russia never got the memo.
Putinism is alive and well in America through Trump and most Republicans. They support a dictator! Republicans are passing very restrictive voting laws going back to the Jim Crow days. Republicans are rigging elections through these laws so they can win in 2022 and 2024, Books are being banned because of white supremacy. Before you know it, the BIBLE will be banned because it preaches love, togetherness, and it says that "We're ALL BORN OF GOD'S CHILDREN", but white supremacy does not believe that. America needs to practice what it preaches, but as long as Trump controls the Republican Party, it will never be. Do we really want Putinism in America? NO!
Are there any Russians with hand guns or rifles? Go for a head shot. It seems they have bullet proof vests. A head shot is more appropriate to stop these pigs.
BIG difference between how protesters are arrested in the US and Russia: In the US police use Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets, Water Canons, Clubs, Armored Vehicles, Attack Dogs, and Snipers. Big difference.
Respect to Russian protests ! They are the only ones that can bring peace to the world ! Don’t stop!
Dear Russian people! Stand firm and strong 💪 remove Putin from power!
Protesting is a 2 yr sentence in Russia…
The first time, it's far longer the second..
Remmeber russia it not the problem. Putin is, so as soon his gone. Russia can truly move on and become a great contey again.
Bitte nicht aufhören zu demonstrieren🙏🏻🙏🏻😥 Putin ist ein verrückter Kriegsverbrecher😡
there are over 145 million russian civilians. Putin is killing your friends and your families in Ukraine. Your killing yoiur own people. Rise up and overthrow your government instead of seeing your givernment kill your family and friends, there are 145 million of you. Show the world who the true Russian civilians are!
BPUTIN IS A TRAITOR TO RUSSIANS.
🖖🏻
Respect, russians dont deserve this
God please Save russian and ukrainians from putin
Just so you know how totalitarian regimes keep their power. In Russia those cops earn twice as much as doctors or teachers. You spend almost 10 years studying to be a doctor to earn less than some drunk guy with a baton who spent like 6 months in academy
Russians still criticize Putin and protest against the war, but if China invades Taiwan or other countries, the Chinese will be busy fighting online and offline amid criticism from all over the world, shouting "Long live Xi Jinping, fighting China."
The West are the aggressors and are to blame for this conflict.Since the dissolution of the USSR, Russia had a large military / naval base in Crimea. In 2014, the US overthrew Ukraine's government, aiming to make Ukraine an outpost for NATO or NATO's interests, and to kick Russia out of Crimea, which is an exceedingly valuable strategic point on the Black Sea.
In response to the US-orchestrated coup, Crimea, which had tried to leave Ukraine and rejoin Russia for decades, lawfully chose to join Russia. And the heavily Russian-ethnic regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine declared their independences from Ukraine and also sought to join Russia (but Russia didn't accept them).
This infuriated the US and NATO, which then proceeded to funnel weapons into Ukraine and train Ukrainian troops and also Nazis, and encourage Ukraine to not stop trying to take Donetsk and Lugansk back by force. Years ago, Ukraine also signed the Minsk accords, under which Ukraine agreed to grant Donetsk and Lugansk autonomy within Ukraine. But Ukraine never upheld the agreement and continued to try to retake Donetsk and Lugansk by force.
After 8 years of Donetsk and Lugansk being brutalised by Ukraine, Russia decided it'd had enough and finally recognised the independence declarations of Donetsk and Lugansk, and agreed to protect them, from Ukraine's attacks.
As Russia moved forces into Donetsk and Lugansk a day or two ago, the shelling of those regions by Ukraine's army stopped for a while. That was the first calm those regions had had in years. But then, for who knows what reason, Ukraine started heavily shelling those regions again, and shelled them all last night and today. And this time, Russia's military was in those regions. In response, Russia had launched missile strikes and some other operations against Ukraine, taking out Ukraine's air defences and airforce, as well as other military targets
