Anti-war activist interrupts live Russian state TV news show

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — A live evening news program on Russia’s state television channel was interrupted Monday by a person who walked into the studio holding a poster protesting the war in Ukraine. Russia’s state TV regularly amplifies the government line that says troops entered Ukraine to save people from “neo-Nazis” and to defend Russians from a country that was preparing to attack. The invasion of Ukraine is being characterized in Russia as a “special military operation.” An independent human rights group that monitors political arrests identified the woman as Marina Ovsyannikova. “Russia is an aggressor country and Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for that aggression.” Speaking in a video address early Tuesday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised Ovsyannikova.
