Russia March 3 (Hindustan Times)  - Dozens of anti-war demonstrators were detained in Moscow and St Petersburg on Wednesday as voices against President Vladimir Putin’s special military operation in Ukraine grew louder and stronger.  


Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has called for daily anti-war protests in Russia, calling Putin an “obviously insane tsar”, Navalny said Russians must tell the world that not all Russians support the war.   Independent monitoring group OVD-Info says over 7,000 people in total in Russia have been detained at protests over the invasion of Ukraine.  


“We cannot wait even a day longer. Wherever you are. In Russia, Belarus or on the other side of the planet. Go out onto the main square of your city every weekday at 19.00 and at 14.00 at weekends and on holidays,” Navalny said in a statement published on Twitter by his spokesperson.
