Russian journalist Marina Ovsyanikova has called on her country's population to denounce the Russian army's attack on Ukraine.
"The times are very dark and very difficult and every person who has a political opinion and wants to make that opinion known must make their voice heard.
He invaded the newscast
It's very important," the Russian journalist who rose to fame when she invaded a newscast on Pervy Kanal on Russia's state television holding placards with slogans against the Russian attack on Ukraine and against the Kremlin's propaganda, told the American network ABC.
"The Russian people are actually against the war, it's Putin's war, not the Russian people's war," he said.
More resonance
She explained to ABC that with her action last Monday she wanted to do something "with more resonance, that would attract more attention" than the protests being suppressed by Russian police.", she said."
"I could see that what was actually happening in Ukraine and what the programs on my channel were showing were very different. "I wanted to show the world that Russians are against the war, to expose the propaganda for what it is and, perhaps, to motivate people to denounce the war."
"Change their minds."
[/P]"I was hoping that my act, in a sense, could make people change their minds."
Marina Ovsiankova was arrested and, after a short detention, was fined and released. Since then, she has left state television and faces charges under a new law banning any "false news" about the Russian military, carrying heavy prison sentences.
