Russians in every major city and region call for #nowar
The online protest hashtag, #нетвойне, was also used in 91 other countries
Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is not going as planned on the ground. And even back home, the Russian autocrat is facing mounting resistance. On the first day of the invasion more than 1,300 people were arrested in anti-war protests in 51 Russian cities, according to OVD-info, a human-rights group. That number has now swollen to 5,959. Even more are taking their protests online. The hashtag “#нетвойне”, Russian for “no war”, started trending soon after Russian troops rolled into Ukraine.
