Russia detains protesters against Ukraine invasion, as global protests gather steam
CA, 27 Feb 2022
Russia detained hundreds of protesters on Saturday who were rallying against the invasion of Ukraine. The independent OVD-info monitor, which tracks arrests during demonstrations, reported 467 had been detained on Feb. 26 in 34 cities, with more than 3,000 arrested in Russia in protests related to the invasion.
But even as some in Russia are taken into custody, thousands more are demonstrating in cities around the world, including Budapest, Athens, New York City and Tel Aviv.
"I worry about everybody, I don't worry only about my family," Ukrainian national and Athens resident Anna Maniati said. "We don't feel pain only for our families, we feel pain for all our people, for all our country and this is the biggest pain."
